Snow redistribution in an intermediate-complexity snow hydrology modelling framework [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Snow hydrological regimes in mountainous catchments are strongly influenced by snowpack heterogeneity resulting from wind- and gravity-induced redistribution processes, requiring them to be modelled at hectometre and finer resolutions.

Research on Self‐Identification Technology of Zero‐Value Insulators in Distribution Lines Based on Electroluminescence Effect

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the issue of low detection accuracy for zero‐value insulators in distribution lines, this study proposes a novel method for detecting these insulators based on the electroluminescence effect. Through theoretical analysis and experimentation, it was found that the luminescence intensity of ZnS:Cu electroluminescent material varies ...

Angle of repose experiments with snow: role of grain shape and cohesion

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
Snow appears as a granular material in most engineering applications. We examined the role of grain shape and cohesion in angle of repose experiments, which are a common means for the characterization of granular materials. The role of shape was examined

Elevation shapes alpine snow algal blooms and their influence on albedo reduction

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Graphical summary of elevational trends in Sanguina‐dominated snow algal blooms. Increasing elevation was associated with larger cells, lower Chla content per cell, higher astaxanthin ratios, lower snow water content, and reduced cell‐normalized albedo, whereas algal cell density showed no consistent elevational trend.

Configurational energy and the formation of mixed flowing/powder snow and ice avalanches

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
A long-standing problem in avalanche dynamics is to model the flow of a mixed flowing/powder avalanche. Here we use the thermodynamic concept of configurational energy to describe the blow-out of air from the avalanche core. Configurational energy is the

A Downscaling Intercomparison Study: The Representation of Slope- and Ridge-Scale Processes in Models of Different Complexity

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Spatially distributed meteorological information at the slope scale is relevant for many processes in complex terrain, yet information at this sub-km spatial resolution is difficult to obtain.

Trauma and affect in a Holocaust survivor's story: Rosita Fanto's novel Rozalia Alone

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract My article endeavors to redress the neglect of Rosita Fanto's Rozalia Alone (2010), which deals with a page of history that is less known worldwide, the Holocaust in Romania. Using a trauma studies perspective that mixes with affect theory, the article demonstrates that Rozalia Alone covers in a nutshell the whole magnitude of the late 1930s ...

Landscape conservation forecasting to evaluate ecological condition and wildlife habitat suitability in eastern Nevada U.S.A.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cooperation among managers of protected areas and federal multiple use lands with private inholdings to increase restoration success and economies of scale creates ecological and regulatory complexity best studied with state‐and‐transition simulation models (STSM).

Statistical properties of fresh snow roughness

, 2008
We present results from a series of experiments in which fresh snow roughness was measured by means of digital photography and analyzed using the random field approach.

An Information States Blackboard as an Intelligent Querying Interface for Snow and Avalanche Data [PDF]

, 1999
We present the graph-based querying paradigm used in the Regional Avalanche Information and Forecasting System (RAIFoS) for the collection and analysis of snow and weather related physical parameters in the Swiss Alps.
