Artificial snowmaking possibilities and climate change based on regional climate modeling in the Southern Black Forest

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2012
Winter sport, especially ski tourism - is one of those sectors of tourism that will be affected by climate change. Ski resorts across the Alps and in the adjacent low mountain ranges react to warm winter seasons by investing in artificial snowmaking. But

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...

Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Revealing Dust Source Changes in East Asia From Past to Future: An Interpretable Deep Learning Approach

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian dust source areas are controlled by climate and human activities and are closely associated with land degradation, yet their long‐term evolution under global warming remains insufficiently quantified. An integrated framework that couples a U‐Net segmentation model with Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) was built to map and attribute

Study on atomization characteristics of nozzles in artificial snow making process

open access: yesZhileng xuebao
The increasing global warming and rapid growth of the ski industry have raised higher demands for artificial snowmaking technology and snow quality, with the quality of artificial snowmaking closely linked to the atomization characteristics of snowmaking

Mechanical properties of artificial snow

open access: yes, 2013
Mechanical properties of snow have been a subject of research since the mid-20th century. Theresearch done is based on natural snow. During the last decades the winter business industryhas been growing and also the interest for constructing buildings and

Improving heavy precipitation forecasts through phase‐aware nonlinear bias correction of all‐sky infrared radiances using cloud top temperature differences

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study proposes a phase‐aware bias correction framework for all‐sky infrared radiance assimilation. Cloud top temperature differences between observations and model background fields are used to identify cloud‐phase mismatch and cold‐cloud regimes.

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

A Functional Flows Framework for the Terminal Great Salt Lake Basin: Can We Have Our Lake and Drink It Too?

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terminal basins provide unique aquatic environments that are often highly sensitive to streamflow contributions, making them a focal point for environmental water management. However, the water needs for terminal lake, wetland, and river ecosystems, and how they relate, remain a fundamental knowledge gap that constrains our ability to ...
