Title: Weather and Snowpack Conditions Essential to Slushflow Release and Downslope Propagation: Date: 1994; Authors: Erik Hestnes, Steinar Bakkelwi, Frode Sandersen, Lars Andresen; Description: Rapid mass movement of water-saturated snow, usually known as slushflow or slush avalanche, is a major natural hazard in Norway. Slushflows occur in w...; Object ID: issw-1994-040-057.pdf; Keywords: slushflow, depth hoar, grained snowpacks; View additional details about Weather and Snowpack Conditions Essential to Slushflow Release and Downslope Propagation

Title: Effect of Microslructure on Heat and Vapor Transport in Snow Composed of Uniform Fine Ice Spheres: Date: 1994; Authors: Atsushi Sato, Edward E. Adams, Robert L. Brown; Description: The formation of weak layers in the snowpack of slopes causes avalanches. One of the most important weak layers is known as depth hoar due to vapor tr...; Object ID: issw-1994-176-184.pdf; Keywords: depth hoar, weak layer, temperature gradient, thermal conductivity, water vapor; View additional details about Effect of Microslructure on Heat and Vapor Transport in Snow Composed of Uniform Fine Ice Spheres
