Implementing spatially and temporally varying snow densities into the GlobSnow snow water equivalent retrieval [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2023
Snow water equivalent (SWE) is a valuable characteristic of snow cover, and it can be estimated using passive spaceborne radiometer measurements. The radiometer-based GlobSnow SWE retrieval methodology, which assimilates weather station snow depth ...

EVALUATING THE CONSISTENCY OF REMOTE SENSING BASED SNOW DEPTH PRODUCTS IN ARID ZONE OF WESTERN CHINA [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012
Snow cover is a sensitive indicator of global climate change. Among various snow cover parameters, snow depth which can indicate snow accumulation is essential for retrieving snow water equivalent.

Reliability approach for safe designing on a locking system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The aim of this work is to predict the failure probability of a locking system. This failure probability is assessed using complementary methods: the First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Second-Order Reliability Method (SORM) as approximated methods,

Experimental Investigation of Snow Accumulations on Two-Span Single-Pitched Roofs Based on a New Similarity Criterion

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Uneven snow distribution plays a main role in the collapse of two-span single-pitched roofs because of the intensified snow accumulation in the valleys and eaves.

A reliability assessment of physical vulnerability of reinforced concrete walls loaded by snow avalanches [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Abstract. Snow avalanches are a threat to many kinds of elements (human beings, communication axes, structures, etc.) in mountain regions. For risk evaluation, the vulnerability assessment of civil engineering structures such as buildings and dwellings exposed to avalanches still needs to be improved.

Enhancing Soil and Water Assessment Tool Snow Prediction Reliability with Remote-Sensing-Based Snow Water Equivalent Reconstruction Product for Upland Watersheds in a Multi-Objective Calibration Process

open access: yesWater, 2020
Precipitation occurs in two basic forms defined as liquid state and solid state. Different from rain-fed watershed, modeling snow processes is of vital importance in snow-dominated watersheds.

Adhesion of Wet Snow to Different Cable Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes
Cohesion of snow and its adhesion to cable surfaces are the decisive factors for wet-snow shedding from power-line cables. Knowing the adhesive strength of snow is essential to predict when snow will shed and what consequences it will have on the ...

Modeling Wet-Snow Shedding from Current-Carrying Conductors [PDF]

open access: yes
The initiation of wet-snow shedding from currentcarrying conductors was studied experimentally and theoretically. A suspended cable with cylindrical snow accretion was considered, and some of the snow properties at the end of sleeve were measured and ...
