Title: The Spatial and Temporal Variability of Rain-On-Snow: Date: 2000; Authors: Sue A. Ferguson; Description: Snow melt during rainfall causes large-scale flooding and avalanching. These rain-on-snow events are most well-documented in the coastal mountain rang...; Object ID: issw-2000-178-183.pdf; Keywords: snow, avalanches, rain-on-snow, floods; View additional details about The Spatial and Temporal Variability of Rain-On-Snow

Title: Snowpack Temperature and Decreases in Tensile Strength: Date: 1998; Authors: R. S. Rosso, D. Howlett, S. Calhoun; Description: In an effort to understand post-control and other natural avalanches that occur shortly after rain begins or the sun's rays start to warm the starting...; Object ID: issw-1998-508-513.pdf; Keywords: rain-on-snow, snow temperature, snow strength; View additional details about Snowpack Temperature and Decreases in Tensile Strength

Title: Snow Densification During Rain: Date: 1998; Authors: H.P. Marshall, H. Conway, L.A. Rasmussen; Description: Observations and measurements indicate rain often has a major impact on snow slope stability. Measurements to investigate the effects of wetting of l...; Object ID: issw-1998-520-525.pdf; Keywords: snow, snow compaction, rain on snow; View additional details about Snow Densification During Rain

Title: Warm Storms Associated with Avalanche Hazard in the Sierra Nevada: Date: 1998; Authors: Randall Osterhuber, Richard Kattelmann; Description: Rain-on-snow events occasionally produce avalanches of varying magnitude depending on both snowpack properties and storm characteristics. Under rain-o...; Object ID: issw-1998-526-533.pdf; Keywords: avalanche, avalanche frequency, rain-on-snow, snow stability, wet-snow avalanche; View additional details about Warm Storms Associated with Avalanche Hazard in the Sierra Nevada

Title: Creep and Failure of Alpine Snow: Measurements and Observations: Date: 1996; Authors: H. Conway, S. Breyfogle, J.B. Johnson, C. Wilbour; Description: We investigated the creep behavior of alpine snow in an effort to help understand and predict the timing of avalanche release. Measurements of motion ...; Object ID: issw-1996-107-112.pdf; Keywords: rain-on-snow, creep, avalanches; View additional details about Creep and Failure of Alpine Snow: Measurements and Observations
