Title: The Basic Ideas Behind Snow Metamorphism: Date: 1996; Authors: S. C. Colbeck; Description: The basic concepts of thermodynamics and crystal growth that account for the metamorphism of snow are presented. First, the differences between wet an...; Object ID: issw-1996-080b.pdf; Keywords: snow metamorphism, temperature gradient, faceted ice crystals; View additional details about The Basic Ideas Behind Snow Metamorphism

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

Title: Snow Temperature Patterns and Artificial Avalanche Release: Date: 1992; Authors: Nicholas Logan; Description: Temperature gradient plays a vital role in snow metamorphism. Acting as a heat source, rock outcrops buried in the snowpack produce stronger local gr...; Object ID: issw-1992-037-046.pdf; Keywords: temperature gradient, metamorphism, triggering,; View additional details about Snow Temperature Patterns and Artificial Avalanche Release

Title: The Sign of Electrostatic Charge on Drifting Snow: Date: 1992; Authors: Scott Schmidt, R.A. Schmidt; Description: A review of the mechanics by which drifting snow develops electrostatic charge shows the sign of the charge is expected to be negative. A correspondin...; Object ID: issw-1992-351-360.pdf; Keywords: electrostatic charge, temperature gradient, blizzards; View additional details about The Sign of Electrostatic Charge on Drifting Snow

Title: On the Effect of Strong Density Layering on Metamorphism of Seasonal Snowcover: Date: 1988; Authors: E.E. Adams, R.L. Brown; Description: Recent studies by the authors in the Bridger Mountains near Bozeman, MT and at the South Pole have indicated the presence of peculiar metamorphism pr...; Object ID: issw-1988-037-040.pdf; Keywords: metamorphism, temperature gradient, alpine, isothermal; View additional details about On the Effect of Strong Density Layering on Metamorphism of Seasonal Snowcover

Title: Temperature Gradient Weakening Near Crusts in a Maritime Snowpack: Date: 1982; Authors: M. B.
