Microstructure-based modelling of snow mechanics: experimental evaluation of the cone penetration test [PDF]
Snow is a complex porous material presenting a variety of microstructural patterns. This microstructure largely controls the mechanical properties of snow, although the relation between the micro and macro properties remains to be better understood ...

Impact of Bromelain‐Enriched Pineapple Stem Marination and Sous Vide Processing on Goose Breast Meat
Pineapple stem‐derived bromelain marinade combined with sous vide processing improves the quality characteristics of goose breast meat from Turkish genotypes (Aksaray and Kars). Goose breast samples were marinated with either water (control), pineapple stem‐free solution, or bromelain‐rich pineapple stem extract prior to sous vide cooking at 70°C for 2

Micrometeorological and morphological observations of surface hoar dynamics on a mountain snow cover [PDF]
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.

Impact of spatial averaging on radar reflectivity at internal snowpack layer boundaries
Microwave radar amplitude within a snowpack can be strongly influenced by spatial variability of internal layer boundaries. We quantify the impact of spatial averaging of snow stratigraphy and physical snowpack properties on surface scattering from near ...

Snow mechanics: from snow microstructure to avalanche formation
Snow is a fascinating material. Its composition is relatively simple, mainly air and ice, but the arrangement of these components in three dimensions is extremely diverse. This diversity of microstructure, often reduced to discrete snow types, originates from different snowflake growth mechanisms in the atmosphere and the continuous evolution of snow ...

Feasibility Mapping of L‐Band InSAR for SWE Retrievals Across the Western United States
Abstract Mountain snowpacks provide vital water resources for communities in the western U.S. (WUS), but high spatial variability challenges accurate measurement of snow water equivalent (SWE) from remote sensing platforms. Studies using repeat airborne L‐band (∼25 cm wavelength) Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) have demonstrated ...

Development of a handheld integrating sphere snow grain sizer (HISSGraS)
We developed a Handheld Integrating Sphere Snow Grain Sizer (HISSGraS) for field use to measure the specific surface area (SSA) of snow. In addition to snow samples, HISSGraS can directly measure snow surfaces and snow pit walls.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.
