Snow specific surface area simulation using the one-layer snow model in the Canadian LAnd Surface Scheme (CLASS) [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 Snow grain size is a key parameter for modeling microwave snow emission properties and the surface energy balance because of its influence on the snow albedo, thermal conductivity and diffusivity. A model of the specific surface area (SSA) of snow was

Point release wet snow avalanches
, 2015 Abstract. Wet snow avalanches can initiate from large fracture slabs or small point releases. Point release wet snow avalanches can reach dangerous proportions when they (1) initiate on steep and long avalanche paths and (2) entrain warm moist snow. In this paper we investigate the dynamics of point release wet snow avalanches by applying a numerical ...

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

Ecography, EarlyView.Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

MONITORING OF WET SNOW AND ACCUMULATIONS AT HIGH ALPINE GLACIERS USING RADAR TECHNOLOGIES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 Conventional studies to assess the annual mass balance for glaciers rely on single point observations in combination with model and interpolation approaches. Just recently, airborne and spaceborne data is used to support such mass balance determinations.

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

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions
Ecography, EarlyView.Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Investigating the dynamics of bulk snow density in dry and wet conditions using a one-dimensional model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 The snowpack is a complicated multiphase mixture with mechanical, hydraulic, and thermal properties highly variable during the year in response to climatic forcings.

Micrometeorological processes driving snow ablation in an Alpine catchment [PDF]
, 2011 Mountain snow covers typically become patchy over the course of a melting season. The snow pattern during melt is mainly governed by the end of winter snow depth distribution and the local energy balance.
