Parameterizations of Snow Cover, Snow Albedo and Snow Density in Land Surface Models: A Comparative Review
Snow plays a vital role in the interaction between land and atmosphere in the state-of-the-art land surface models (LSMs) and the real world. While...

Characteristics of snow cover distribution along railway subgrade and the protective effect of snow fences
Railways built in cold, snowy, and lightly populated areas are subjected to wind and snow disasters. In this study, we selected a snow hazard...

Snow Microorganisms Colonise Arctic Soils Following Snow Melt
Arctic soils are constantly subjected to microbial invasion from either airborne, marine, or animal sources, which may impact local microbial...

Snow in the Mountains
Mountains have often been considered the domain of snow and ice. The temperature drops as altitude is gained, causing precipitation to fall as snow...

Estimating Ground Snow Load Based on Ground Snow Depth and Climatological Elements for Snow Hazard Assessment in Northeastern China
Extreme snow loads can collapse roofs. This load is calculated based on the ground snow load (that is, the snow water equivalent on the ground)....
