Modeling the influence of snow cover temperature and water content on wet-snow avalanche runout [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Snow avalanche motion is strongly dependent on the temperature and water content of the snow cover. In this paper we use a snow cover model, driven by measured meteorological data, to set the initial and boundary conditions for wet-snow avalanche ...

Mapping seasonal snow melting in Karakoram using SAR and topographic data [PDF]
The CryosphereMapping seasonal snow melting is crucial for assessing its impacts on water resources, natural hazards, and regional climate in Karakoram. However, complex terrain in the high-mountain region poses great challenges to remote-sensing-based wet snow ...

Evaluation of single-band snow-patch mapping using high-resolution microwave remote sensing: an application in the maritime Antarctic [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 The mountainous and ice-free terrains of the maritime Antarctic generate complex mosaics of snow patches, ranging from tens to hundreds of metres. These can only be accurately mapped using high-resolution remote sensing.

Wet snow avalanche preconditions from Sentinel-1 multi-track composites [PDF]
The CryosphereInformation about snowpack at high spatio-temporal resolution is important for the timely identification of conditions favouring snow avalanche release. However, such information is often available only at specific instrumented locations.

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

Simulating liquid water distribution at the pore scale in snow: water retention curves and effective transport properties [PDF]
The CryosphereLiquid water flows by gravity and capillarity in snow, drastically modifying its properties. Unlike dry snow, observing wet snow remains a challenge and data from 3D pore-scale imaging are scarce.

Natural wet-snow shedding from overhead cables [PDF]
, 2010 The initiation of wet-snow shedding from overhead cables with negligible sag due to natural processes was modeled experimentally and theoretically. The experiments were carried out in a cold chamber where wet-snow sleeves were prepared on a suspended ...

Experimental Simulation of Wet-Snow Shedding from Sagged Cables [PDF]
The process of wet-snow shedding from overhead cables was simulated in cold-chamber experiments under different ambient conditions. The main objective of the study was to examine how cable sag influences the snow-shedding process. However, the effects of
