Simulation of the specific surface area of snow using a one-dimensional physical snowpack model: implementation and evaluation for subarctic snow in Alaska [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2010
The specific surface area (SSA) of the snow constitutes a powerful parameter to quantify the exchange of matter and energy between the snow and the atmosphere. However, currently no snow physics model can simulate the SSA.

New Features and Enhancements in Community Land Model (CLM5) Snow Albedo Modeling: Description, Sensitivity, and Evaluation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
We enhance the Community Land Model (CLM) snow albedo modeling by implementing several new features with more realistic and physical representations of snow‐aerosol‐radiation interactions. Specifically, we incorporate the following model enhancements: (a)

Exploring the Physics of Two Thermodynamic Lake Ice Models

Water Resources Research
Thermodynamic lake ice models are valuable tools in the simulation of ice formation, growth, and decay. Appropriate application of these models necessitates a thorough understanding of model physics. Here, we examine the physics of two thermodynamic lake

Snow effects on brash ice and level ice growth

Journal of Glaciology
Brash ice formation and accumulation occur at a faster rate in ship channels, harbours and turning areas compared to the surrounding level ice. Accurate prediction of brash ice thickness plays an important role in addressing operational challenges and ...

The source, quantity, and spatial distribution of interfacial water during glide-snow avalanche release: experimental evidence from field monitoring [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Glide-snow avalanches release at the soil–snow interface due to a loss friction which is suspected to be linked to interfacial water. Presently, the formation and distribution of the interfacial water are not well understood and glide-snow avalanches are

Glide-snow avalanches: a mechanical, threshold-based release area model [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Glide-snow avalanches release at the ground–snow interface due to a loss in basal friction. They pose a threat to infrastructure because of the combination of unreliable mitigation measures, limited forecasting capabilities, and a lack of understanding ...
