Assessment of Mountain Snow Transport Based on Measured Wind and Simulated Snow Cover
A local to regional assessment of transported snow during snow storms or subsequent periods of strong winds is a prerequisite to reliably predict avalanche danger. Despite the fact that it has received continuing attention for decades, the problem of quantifying snow transport persists. Systems from point measurements to full three-dimensional simulations are in operation but all have their res...
متن کامل“get the Drift” Effects of Snow Fence Variables on Wind Patterns, Snow Drift Geometry and Volume
What are the effects of snow fence variables on wind patterns, and geometry and volume of snow collected in drifts? This question arose from a need to capture winter’s blowing snow to improve water supply during a drought and to protect critical areas from blowing snow. Last year, during the first phase of this project, various powders were tested to find which would closely replicate snow in a...
متن کاملSnow Catastrophe Conditions: What is its Impact on Orthopedic Injuries?
Background: Iran places sixth amongst high risk natural disaster countries and Guilan province of Iran shoulders a large amount of socio-economic burden due to snow catastrophes. The more knowledge of circumstances we have, the more efficient our future encounters will be. Methods: In this retrospective study, of all of the patients admitted to Poursina Hospital due to snow and ice related tr...
متن کاملOn the saltation of fresh snow in a wind tunnel: Profile characterization and single particle statistics
[1] We present experimental results on the snow drift in a turbulent boundary layer over a flat fresh snow-covered surface. Vertical profiles of mass flux and of the distribution of particle diameters were obtained by means of a pair of Snow Particle Counters parallel with measurements of the stream-wise velocity profile. The aim of the paper is to discuss current parameterizations of the verti...
متن کاملUse of AMSR-E microwave satellite data for land surface characteristics and snow cover variation
This data article contains data related to the research article entitled "Global land cover classification based on microwave polarization and gradient ratio (MPGR)" [1] and "Microwave polarization and gradient ratio (MPGR) for global land surface phenology" [2]. This data article presents land surface characteristics and snow cover variation information from sensors like EOS Advanced Microwave...
