Intercomparison of snow density measurements: bias, precision, and vertical resolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Density is a fundamental property of porous media such as snow. A wide range of snow properties and physical processes are linked to density, but few studies have addressed the uncertainty in snow density measurements.

Is Eurasian snow cover in October a reliable statistical predictor for the wintertime climate on the Iberian Peninsula? [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, 2013
ABSTRACTIn this study, the recently found lead–lag relationship between Eurasian snow cover increase in October and wintertime precipitation totals on the Iberian Peninsula is re‐visited and generalized to a broad range of atmospheric variables on the synoptic and local scale.

SNOWMIP2: An evaluation of forest snow process simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The Northern Hemisphere has large areas that are forested and seasonally snow covered. Compared with open areas, forest canopies strongly influence interactions between the atmosphere and snow on the ground by sheltering the snow from wind and solar ...

A compilation of multitemporal TLS snow depth distribution maps at the Weisssee snow research site (Kaunertal, Austria)

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2019
The study presents a data set of the interannual and intraannual snow depth distribution recorded by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) scans at Weisssee snow research site in Austria between November 2014 and May 2018.

On the saltation of fresh snow in a wind tunnel: profile characterization and single particle statistics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present experimental results on the snow drift in a turbulent boundary layer over a flat fresh snow-covered surface. Vertical profiles of mass flux and of the distribution of particle diameters were obtained by means of a pair of Snow Particle ...

Changes in Snow Depth, Snow Cover Duration, and Potential Snowmaking Conditions in Austria, 1961–2020—A Model Based Approach

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
We used the spatially distributed and physically based snow cover model SNOWGRID-CL to derive daily grids of natural snow conditions and snowmaking potential at a spatial resolution of 1 × 1 km for Austria for the period 1961–2020 validated against ...

Snow Tracking and Trapping Harvest as Reliable Sources for Inferring Abundance: A 9-year Comparison [PDF]

open access: yesNortheastern Naturalist, 2015
Abstract Trapping harvest and snow tracking are frequently used to infer population dynamics, yet there have been few evaluations of these indices. We developed population indices for Martes americana (American Marten), Mustela spp. (weasels), and Tamiasciurus hudsonicus (American Red Squirrel) from 9 years of snow-tracking data in eastern Canada.

Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...
