Linking snow depth to avalanche release area size: measurements from the Vallée de la Sionne field site [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 One of the major challenges in avalanche hazard assessment is the correct estimation of avalanche release area size, which is of crucial importance to evaluate the potential danger that avalanches pose to roads, railways or infrastructure.

SNOWMIP2: An evaluation of forest snow process simulation [PDF]
, 2009 The Northern Hemisphere has large areas that are forested and seasonally snow covered. Compared with open areas, forest canopies strongly influence interactions between the atmosphere and snow on the ground by sheltering the snow from wind and solar ...

Multi-component avalanches for rock- and ice-falls to potential debris flow transition modelling [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Rock/ice avalanches are complex gravitational flows involving three important physicalprocesses: entrainment, phase-changes, and flow transitions. The basic complexity of modelling rock/ice avalanches lies in the fact that the flow is a mixture of rock ...

Micrometeorological processes driving snow ablation in an Alpine catchment [PDF]
, 2011 Mountain snow covers typically become patchy over the course of a melting season. The snow pattern during melt is mainly governed by the end of winter snow depth distribution and the local energy balance.

Intercomparison of snow density measurements: bias, precision, and vertical resolution [PDF]
, 2016 Density is a fundamental property of porous media such as snow. A wide range of snow properties and physical processes are linked to density, but few studies have addressed the uncertainty in snow density measurements.

Health and sustainability of glaciers in High Mountain Asia
Nature Communications, 2021 Glaciers in High Mountain Asia are a key water resource. The authors use remote sensing data and a regional implementation of the continuity equation to quantify glacier ablation and accumulation rates for 2000–2016, and establish current climatic ...
