50-year return-period wet-snow load estimation based on weather station data for overhead line design in France [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Historically, as far as wet-snow loads were concerned, overhead line design was often based on experience or long-term applications with positive results. New standard like CENELEC EN 50341-1 (2012) take into account characteristic loads, i.e.

Estimation of soil redistribution rates due to snow cover related processes in a mountainous area (Valle d'Aosta, NW Italy) [PDF]
, 2012 Mountain areas are widely affected by soil erosion, which is generally linked to runoff processes occurring in the growing season and snowmelt period.

Forest damage and snow avalanche flow regime [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Snow avalanches break, uproot and overturn trees causing damage to forests. The extent of forest damage provides useful information on avalanche frequency and intensity. However, impact forces depend on avalanche flow regime.

On the Evaluation of the SAR-Based Copernicus Snow Products in the French Alps
Geosciences, 2022 We perform a first evaluation of the Copernicus pan-European wet snow products in mountainous terrain in the French Alps. Mountains are very challenging due to the complexity of the terrain and the multiple interactions between soil, snow and atmosphere ...

Performance of snow density measurement systems in snow stratigraphies
Hydrology Research, 2021 Gravimetric and dielectric permittivity measurement systems (DMS) are applied to measure snow density, but few studies have addressed differences between the two measurement systems under complex snowpack conditions.

Snow and avalanche climates in the French Alps using avalanche problem frequencies
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Avalanches result from an interaction of weather and terrain, where past weather and internal snow cover processes play important roles. So far, climatology was mainly based on weather data, as regional snow instability information, such as avalanche ...

Snow permittivity retrieval inversion algorithm for estimating snow wetness
Geocarto International, 2010 The environmental satellite (ENVISAT) advanced synthetic aperture radar (ASAR) offers the opportunity for monitoring snow parameters with dual polarization and multi-incidence angle. Snow wetness is an important index for indicating snow avalanche, snowmelt runoff modelling, water supply for irrigation and hydropower stations, weather forecasts and ...
