Capillary suction across the soil–snow interface as a mechanism for the formation of wet basal layers under gliding snowpacks

Journal of Glaciology
Capillary suction across the soil–snow interface is a possible mechanism for the formation of wet basal snow layers, which are necessary for snow gliding and glide-snow avalanches.
