• Snow-accumulation• Snow-distribution

Thomas V. [email protected]

Aim:Understand principles ofsnowdistribution

Snow precipitation

What makes it snow?• Saturated or oversaturated air exists due

to air lift• Nuclear seeds exist• Collisions occur between cloud drops or

ice particles

Snow precipitation

• Orographic– Mountain barriers→ uplift

• Cyclonal– Mixing of warm and cold air masses→ advection & convection

Snowfall distribution: orographic effects

Snowfall distribution: convergence

Snowfall distribution: frontal effects (advection) Snowfall distribution

Less snow withincreasing distance to the source

Snow drift

• Threshold wind speed increases with increasingtemperature and humidity

• It the original deposition occurs with wind, theparticles will be broken into smaller pieces higher density pack increase threshold windspeed

• Threshold wind speed increases with time sincedeposition, due to snow metamorphism

Snowcover distribution• Quantifying snowfall is problematic.

• In practice, we are often just concerned withthe snowcover distribution

(e.g.,avalanche warning, meltwater runoff)

Radar profiless vs z

s = F(x,y,z)

s vs xs vs y

F is a multiple regression function

Snowcover distribution Snow at different scales

• Microscale (10-100 m)– Topography (slope, aspect, elevation),

vegetation• Mesoscale (0.1-1km)

– Topography (slope, aspect, elevation), vegetation (forest)

• Macroscale (>10 km)– Latitude, macrotopography, distance to

moisture source etc
