Formation and evolution of melt holes on vine-shoots during the winter in Quebec
OENO One, 2002 Vine cultivation in Quebec is confronted with the problem of an unfavorable climate specially because of winter frost. Over the last few years, artificial snow has been used, at the experimental level, as one of the protective methods implemented during ...

Effects of snow cover on urban light climate environment in the high latitudes of northeast China
Scientific Reports, 2023 Light climate environment (LCE) has a significant impact on human health, behavioral characteristics, and the safety of life and property due to the high albedo of snow on the ground cover type, which in turn affects the regional climate and socio ...

The smoothing of landscapes during snowfall with no wind
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 Every winter, snowy landscapes are smoothed by snow deposition in calm conditions (no wind). In this study, we investigated how vertically falling snow attenuates topographic relief at horizontal scales less than or approximately equal to snow depth (e.g.

Boundary Conditions for Artificial Snow Production in the Austrian Alps*
Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2010 Abstract To assess how meteorological conditions favorable for the production of artificial snow vary in time and space, wet-bulb temperatures are calculated using temperature and humidity data of 14 Austrian stations between October and April for 1948–2007 (station altitudes 585–3105 m MSL).
