Monitoring Wet Snow Over an Alpine Region Using Sentinel-1 Observations
Remote Sensing, 2021 The main objective of this study was to monitor wet snow conditions from Sentinel-1 over a season, to examine its variation over time by cross-checking wet snow with independent snow and weather estimates, and to study its distribution taking into ...

A Phase-Field Model for Wet Snow Metamorphism. [PDF]
Cryst Growth DesThe microstructure of snow determines its fundamental properties such as the mechanical strength, reflectivity, or the thermo-hydraulic properties. Snow undergoes continuous microstructural changes due to local gradients in temperature, humidity or curvature, in a process known as snow metamorphism.

Wet Snow Flashover Characteristics of 500-kV AC Insulator Strings with Different Arrangements
Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2019 In order to study the wet snow flashover characteristics of 500-kV AC insulator strings under different arrangements, wet snow flashover tests were carried out in the large climate chamber of China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI).

Assessing wet snow avalanche activity using detailed physics based snowpack simulations
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Water accumulating on microstructural transitions inside a snowpack is often considered a prerequisite for wet snow avalanches. Recent advances in numerical snowpack modeling allow for an explicit simulation of this process.

What weather variables are important for wet and slab avalanches under a changing climate in a low-altitude mountain range in Czechia? [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Climate change impact on avalanches is ambiguous. Fewer, wetter, and smaller avalanches are expected in areas where snow cover is declining, while in higher-altitude areas where snowfall prevails, snow avalanches are frequently and spontaneously ...

Measuring the specific surface area of wet snow using 1310 nm reflectance [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 The specific surface area (SSA) of snow can be used as an objective measurement of grain size and is therefore a central variable to describe snow physical properties such as albedo.

Automated prediction of wet-snow avalanche activity in the Swiss Alps
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Wet-snow avalanches are triggered by the infiltration of liquid water which weakens the snowpack. Wet-snow avalanches are among the most destructive avalanches, yet their release mechanism is not sufficiently understood for a process-based prediction ...
