A rigorous approach to the specific surface area evolution in snow during temperature gradient metamorphism [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Despite being one of the most fundamental microstructural parameters of snow, the specific surface area (SSA) dynamics during temperature gradient metamorphism (TGM) have so far been addressed only within empirical modeling.

A novel method to visualize liquid distribution in snow: superimposition of MRI and X-ray CT images

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology
The relationship between the behavior of water in snow and its microstructure is crucial to improve the prediction of wet snow disasters. X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) is frequently used to observe snow microscopically.

Using Icepack to reproduce ice mass balance buoy observations in landfast ice: improvements from the mushy-layer thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Icepack (v1.1.0) – the column thermodynamics model of the Community Ice CodE (CICE) version 6 – is used to assess how changing the thermodynamics from the Bitz and Lipscomb (1999) physics (hereafter BL99) to the mushy-layer physics impacts the model ...

Improving physically based snow simulations by assimilating snow depths using the particle filter [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2017
AbstractData assimilation can help to ensure that model results remain close to observations despite potential errors in the model, parameters, and inputs. In this study, we test whether assimilation of snow depth observations using the particle filter, a generic data assimilation method, improves the results of a multilayer energy‐balance snow model ...

A method for imaging water transport in soil–snow systems with neutron radiography

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology
Liquid water at the ground–snow interface is thought to play a crucial role in the release of glide-snow avalanches, which can be massive and threaten infrastructure in alpine regions.

New approach to moisture accumulation assessment

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2019
We suggest an innovative approach to simulate moisture buildup on structures with arbitrary geometries and different surface adhesion characteristics. Using 3D particle physics, rain, snow and freezing rain buildup on flat and cylindrical surfaces was ...

Seasonal snow–atmosphere modeling: let's do it [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Mountain snowpack forecasting relies on accurate mass and energy input information in relation to the snowpack. For this reason, coupled snow–atmosphere models, which downscale input fields to the snow model using atmospheric physics, have been developed.

Geostatistical description of snow cover heterogeneity in a physically based catchment-scale snow model

open access: yesГидросфера. Опасные процессы и явления, 2022
Разработан метод геостатистического описания пространственной неоднородности залегания снежного покрова при расчете снеготаяния с помощью физико-математической модели формирования снежного покрова (на примере водосбора реки Сейм). Средняя высота снежного покрова на площади расчетной сетки модели задается по данным наблюдений на ...

Spiky ice and penitente tilting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Indexación: Scopus.Under certain conditions, at high altitude, the surface of snow develops spike-like structures known as penitentes. This is a rather counterintuitive phenomenon, which is a consequence of surface sublimation at a given point as a ...

Melt Electrowriting High Resolution Poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) Scaffolds for Soft Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...
