Simulating ice layer formation under the presence of preferential flow in layered snowpacks [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2016
For physics-based snow cover models, simulating the formation of dense ice layers inside the snowpack has been a long-time challenge. Their formation is considered to be tightly coupled to the presence of preferential flow, which is assumed to happen ...

Spatially distributed simulations of the effect of snow on mass balance and flooding of Antarctic sea ice

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2021
Southern Ocean sea ice can exhibit widespread flooding and subsequent snow-ice formation, due to relatively thick snow covers compared to the total ice thickness.

Effects of snow physical parameters on spectral albedo and bidirectional reflectance of snow surface [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2000
Observations of spectral albedo and bidirectional reflectance in the wavelength region of λ = 0.35–2.5 μm were made together with snow pit work on a flat snowfield in eastern Hokkaido, Japan. The effects of snow impurities, density, layer structure, and grain size attained by in situ and laboratory measurements were taken into account in snow models ...

Verification of the multi-layer SNOWPACK model with different water transport schemes [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2015
The widely used detailed SNOWPACK model has undergone constant development over the years. A notable recent extension is the introduction of a Richards equation (RE) solver as an alternative for the bucket-type approach for describing water transport in ...

Precipitation biases and snow physics limitations drive the uncertainties in macroscale modeled snow water equivalent

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022
Abstract. Seasonal snow is an essential component of regional and global water and energy cycles, particularly in snow-dominant regions that rely on snowmelt for water resources. Land surface models (LSMs) are a common approach for developing spatially and temporally complete estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE) and hydrologic variables at a large ...

Snow Distribution Patterns Revisited: A Physics‐Based and Machine Learning Hybrid Approach to Snow Distribution Mapping in the Sub‐Arctic

open access: yesWater Resources Research
Snowpack distribution in Arctic and alpine landscapes often occurs in repeating, year‐to‐year patterns due to local topographic, weather, and vegetation characteristics.

Reducing the Cold Bias of the WRF Model Over the Tibetan Plateau by Implementing a Snow Coverage‐Topography Relationship and a Fresh Snow Albedo Scheme

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023
Most climate models show systematic cold biases during snow‐covered period over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), which is associated with snow and surface albedo overestimations.

CNN Classification of Wet Snow by Physical Snowpack Model Labeling

open access: yesIGARSS 2023 - 2023 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2023
We propose a new approach for wet snow extent mapping in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images by using a convolutional neural network (CNN) designed to learn with respect to snowpack outputs from the state-of-the-art snow model Crocus. The CNN was trained to classify the wet snow conditions based on features extracted from the SAR images, using both ...

The human and the physical in Debussy’s depictions of snow [PDF]

open access: yesLes Cahiers de la Société québécoise de recherche en musique, 2013
This article explores Debussy’s musical engagement of the topic of snow in two representative works for piano, “Des pas sur la neige” from Préludes, Book I and “The Snow is Dancing” from Children’s Corner. In the analysis of “Des pas,” a narrative is put forth based on the interpretation of the work’s opening short-long rhythmic figure as a ...

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 ...
