Assessing the Sustainability of Ski Fields in Southern Japan under Global Warming
Advances in Meteorology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 This is the first study in assessing the impact of climate change on Japanese ski fields with ensemble dynamical downscaling simulations. We target three ski fields in Ehime Prefecture, a southern border area for skiing in Japan. Our field survey revealed that a field located above 1200 m altitudes currently operates on natural snow supply, but those ...

Measuring the Elastic Modulus of Snow
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 44, Issue 21, Page 11,088-11,096, 16 November 2017., 2017 Abstract The elastic modulus is the most fundamental mechanical property of snow. However, literature values scatter by orders of magnitude and hitherto no cross‐validated measurements exists. To this end, we employ P wave propagation experiments under controlled laboratory conditions on decimeter‐sized snow specimen, prepared from artificial snow and ...
