Snaps - snow, ice and avalanche applications [PDF]

, 2012
The SNAPS project focuses on snow and avalanche services for transport infrastructure in selected areas within the Northern Periphery in Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland. The main tasks of the project are: development of near-real time snow cover maps

The Performance Gains of Assimilating Limited Information Into a Fully Distributed Snowpack Model Depend on Model Complexity and Input Data Quality

Water Resources Research
Estimating snowpack conditions in mountainous regions is critical for water resource management, flood forecasting, and avalanche hazard mitigation. However, most snowpack observations lack either spatial or temporal resolution, while estimates from ...

First Empirical Assessment of Ice Content From a Himalayan Rock Glacier

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Climate warming and degradation of glaciers and permafrost in High Mountain Asia is threatening the sustainability of the region's natural “water towers” and allied ecosystems and infrastructure. Approximately 25,000 Himalayan rock glaciers exist and, being more resilient to climatic change than glaciers, they represent important freshwater ...

Seasonal evolution of suncup roughness describes broadband albedo decay on alpine snow [PDF]

The Cryosphere
We monitored the formation and seasonal evolution of suncup roughness over three snow ablation seasons at Weissfluhjoch in the Swiss Alps using a terrestrial LiDAR scanner.

A study on the size of snow particles in powder-snow avalanches [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2001
AbstractIn this work, we study the size of the particles involved in a powder-snow avalanche. To determine this value, we study all the phenomena encountered by the particles before they arrive in the “body” of the avalanche. We study the boundary layer which is at the bottom of the avalanche. We determine, with the help of experimental data, the range

Glide-snow avalanches: a mechanical, threshold-based release area model [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Glide-snow avalanches release at the ground–snow interface due to a loss in basal friction. They pose a threat to infrastructure because of the combination of unreliable mitigation measures, limited forecasting capabilities, and a lack of understanding ...
