Engineering Properties of Snow

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The general properties of snow a re desc ribed with a view to e ngineering applications of data. Following a n introduction a nd a short n ote on the origins of snow, data are give n for fall velocities of snow particles, and for mass flux a nd particle concentra tions in Jailing snow and blowing SnOw. Notes o n the structural properties of deposited snow cover grain size, grain bonds, bulk d e nsity, overburden pressure, and permeability. A section on impurities d eals with stable and radioactive is… Show more

“…Since visible radiation penetrates much deeper than near-infrared radiation the underlying ice surface reduces the albedo mainly in the visible and¯attens the curve. This has been con® rmed earlier by model calculations (Wiscombe and Warren 1980) and observations (Mellor 1977 ).…”

“…To aid in the analysis, snow-ice interface temperatures were modeled using a simple 1-D thermodynamic model after (Nakawo & Sinha, 1981) (Table 3). The following data was used as input for the 1-D model: 1) SAT; 2) mean snow thickness per field site; 3) a mean snow density for all field sites (0.35 g/cm 3 ); 4) the melting/freezing point of sea ice (−1.8°C); 5) the thermal conductivities of snow (Mellor, 1977) and ice (Schwerdtfeger, 1963); and 6) sea ice thickness (1.5 m).…”

“…Numerous studies were produced for analysis; see for example [11][12][13][14][15]. The empirical thermo equation for ice has the form [16]: ( 1 2 ) Here V i is the ice volume, P is the pressure, and T is its temperature.…”
