Exploring the potential of forest snow modeling at the tree and snowpack layer scale [PDF]
The CryosphereBoreal and sub-alpine forests host seasonal snow for multiple months per year; however, snow regimes in these environments are rapidly changing due to rising temperatures and forest disturbances.

Studying Snow Failure With Fiber Bundle Models
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Snow is a highly porous material with properties that may strongly differ depending on the environmental conditions. On slopes, the layered snowpack may fail and avalanches occur.

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Optimized ITO back contact with pre‐Ga supply growth and Ag incorporation suppresses GaOx formation and interface recombination in bifacial CIGS solar cells. The devices achieve 17.25% front and 5.77% rear efficiency, delivering record bifacial power density up to 32.26 mW cm−2 in 4T perovskite/CIGS tandem architectures under enhanced albedo ...

Estimating Snow Water Equivalent with Backscattering at X and Ku Band Based on Absorption Loss
Remote Sensing, 2016 Snow water equivalent (SWE) is a key parameter in the Earth’s energy budget and water cycle. It has been demonstrated that SWE can be retrieved using active microwave remote sensing from space. This necessitates the development of forward models that are

Influence of Microstructure on Mechanical Properties of Snow
Defence Science Journal, 1995 Snow, being composed of ice grains of varying shapes, sizes, orientations, etc., has been treated as a particulate material. The mechanical properties of snow have been described in terms of microstructural parameters. A set of variables, which characterise the microstructure of snow at the granular level, has been chosen and quantified following ...

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.Thermal defrosting limits desublimator efficiency in freeze‐drying. This review and case study compares thermal versus mechanical regeneration, links frost properties and external heat transfer to energy demand, and summarizes pilot‐scale scraping results enabling single‐unit, continuous lyophilization.

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

Evaluation of snow cover and depth simulated by a land-surface model using detailed regional snow observations from Austria [PDF]
, 2010 An evaluation is undertaken of the accuracy with which the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) can simulate snow cover and depth when driven using data from the Hadley Centre Regional Climate Model.
