Recording microscale variations in snowpack layering using near-infrared photography [PDF]
, 2010 Deposition of snow from precipitation and wind events creates layering within seasonal snowpacks. The thickness and horizontal continuity of layers within seasonal snowpacks can be highly variable, due to snow blowing around topography and vegetation ...

Impacts of topographic factors on regional snow cover characteristics
Water Science and Engineering, 2020 At a local scale, snow cover is influenced by terrain properties, and it affects water availability across some arid and semiarid regions. This study aimed to quantify the spatial heterogeneity of snow cover due to topographic effects based on moderate ...

Micrometeorological and morphological observations of surface hoar dynamics on a mountain snow cover [PDF]
, 2010 The formation, growth, and destruction of surface hoar crystals is an important feature of mountain snow covers as buried surface hoar layers are a frequent weak layer leading to unstable snowpacks.

Variation in the snow cover on the Qilian Mountains and its causes in the early 21st century
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2016 Based on MODIS data, we analyzed the spatial distribution and the intra- and inter-annual variations of the snow cover in the Qilian Mountains. In addition to discussing regional climate, we discussed the reasons for the snow cover pattern variations ...
