Simulation of wind-induced snow transport and sublimation in alpine terrain using a fully coupled snowpack/atmosphere model
In alpine regions, wind-induced snow transport strongly influences the spatio-temporal evolution of the snow cover throughout the winter season. To gain understanding on the complex processes that drive the redistribution of snow, a new numerical model is developed. It directly couples...
