Characteristics of the Snow Cover in East Antarctica along the Route of the JARE South Pole Traverse and Factors Controlling Such Characteristics [PDF]
, 1973 Glaciological studies of the upper 10m of the ice sheet in East Antarctica were made during the JARE South Pole Traverse 1968-1969. The glaciological studies consisted of studies of surface snow and subsurface snow by means of pits as well as analyses of

Relationship between new snow density and shape of snow crystals.
Journal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, 1989 新積雪の密度と気象要素および卓越結晶形との関係を詳しく調べるために, 秋田県鹿角市八幡平で6時間毎の観測を実施した.その結果次のことがわかった.1) 新積雪の密度は平均気温の低下と共にやや小さくなり, 平均風速の増加と共にやや大きくなる傾向を示したが, 卓越結晶形の相違による測定値のばらつきは相当大きかった.2) 平均気温が0℃以下のときには, 新積雪の密度は卓越結晶毎に, 雲粒付着の有無およびふぶきの有無を考慮して表わすことができる.

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Operational applications of satellite snowcover observations in Rio Grande drainage of Colorado [PDF]
Various mapping techniques were tried and evaluated. There were many problems encountered such as distinquishing clouds from snow and snow under trees. A partial solution to some of the problems involves ground reconnaissance and low air flights.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Two-stream theory of spectral reflectance of snow [PDF]
Spectral reflectance of snow under diffuse illumination is studied using the two-stream approximation of the radiative transfer equation. The scattering and absorption within the snowcover due to the randomly distributed ice grains are characterized by ...

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, which are essential for renewable energy systems, are vulnerable to partial shading, resulting in considerable power losses and operational inefficiencies. The dynamic reconfiguration of PV arrays has become an effective strategy to mitigate these effects by adaptively modifying the array topology to ...
