The physics of snow crystals [PDF]
Reports on Progress in Physics, 2005 We examine the physical mechanisms governing the formation of snow crystals, treating this problem as a case study of the dynamics of crystal growth from the vapour phase. Particular attention is given to the basic theoretical underpinnings of the subject, especially the interplay of particle diffusion, heat diffusion and surface attachment kinetics ...

The Potential for Estimating Snow Depth With QuikScat Data and a Snow Physical Model
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2017Active microwave remote sensing is a promising tool for global snow water equivalent (SWE) mapping. However, many studies have shown that more information is needed to estimate the SWE accurately. A very important problem is characterizing the snow grain size and quantitatively separating the effects of grain size and snow mass on the backscattering ...

Vestnik of geosciences, 2022
The results of vertical variability comparative studies of the chemical snow layers composition, chronologically linked to the stratigraphically significant snowfall periods, have been presented. The features of the impurity elements concentration on geochemical barriers in the snow mass have been shown.

Snow Skiing for the Physically Disabled
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1991The sport of snow skiing by the physically disabled, which originated in Europe in 1935 and first received attention in the United States in the 1940s, is reviewed in terms of opportunities available, instructions, adaptive equipment necessary, and benefits provided.

Snow skiing injuries in physically disabled skiers
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1992This study, through retrospective review, examines the injury rate of selected disable skiing populations in general and as compared to able-bodied skiers in areas where comparison was possible. Data on disabled skiers gathered from instructional programs at multiple sites indicate that the disabled skier had a very low rate of injury occurrence ...

A physical theory of snow gliding
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1981Snow glide, slip of the entire snowpack over the ground, is not observed unless water reaches the ground interface. In this paper, snow gliding is approached from the point of view that a perfect slip condition is attained at the glide interface whereby a thin continuous water film is envisioned to exist between the snowpack and the ground.

Dust and Black Carbon size distributions in snow and some links to snow physics.
2020<p><span>Snow contain many insoluble particles, some of which can absorb light (such as mineral dust and black carbon) and are responsible for a large climate forcing, both directly through their influence on snow albedo and indirectly by inducing snow metamorphism &#8211; albedo feedbacks.</span& ...

Physics of snow cover in the climate model INMCM
2022<p>Snow cover has a great influence on the energy balance on the surface, in particular ability to reflect solar radiation. As well as radiation, when modeling the climate, it is important to correctly describe the water cycle. During the transitional seasons, when the temperature fluctuates around zero degrees Celsius, some of the melt ...

Avalanche Forecasting and Snow Physics
1987Avalanche forecasting is both an operational task in alpine countries and a matter of research for snow physicists, A description is given of the main processes involved in seasonal snowcover evolution, and some critical factors for avalanche release are pointed out.
