Temperature index melt modelling in mountain areas

Temperature index melt modelling in mountain areas

Temperature index or degree-day models rest upon a claimed relationship between snow or ice melt and air temperature usually expressed in the form of positive temperatures. Since air temperature generally is the most readily available data, such models have been the most widely used method of ice and snow melt computations for many purposes, such as hydrological modelling, ice dynamic modelling...

A New Approach for Mountain Areas Cartography

From now on, the French National Mapping Agengy (IGN France) is set up with the BD TOPO®. This is a topographic vector database that covers the whole national territory. IGN has decided to product base maps at 1:25k and 1:50k from this database. On topographic mountain maps, rocks areas are among the most difficult map elements to represent, dealing with digital cartography. In the past, they w...

Two new and rare mountain door-snails (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Clausiliidae) from high mountain areas in Macedonia

Two species of Clausiliidaeare described as new to science. Euxinella alpinellasp. n. is the fourth species within genus Euxinella Nordsieck, 1973, and Vestia lazaroviisp. n. is the second species of genus Vestia recorded from the Republic of Macedonia. In both species, the clausilium apparatus shows a high degree of variation.
