Snow Ghost
… Joe Rowles explores in his latest novel Snow Ghost, where death is hardly the end and life continues to make S-turns long after the protagonist meets his demise.</p>

Collected Snow Globes
<p>The collection Collected Snow Globes consists of the voices of multiple narrators in conversation about elements of literature, narrative, history, art, and emotion over the span of sixty-nine poems. The narrators feature named voices such as a Coyote trickster figure, the Historian, the …

Deuterium and snow hydrology
HDO samples from natural and laboratory snowpacks show that snowpack metamorphism can reduce the initial variability in the HDO content of snow. Field studies in Colorado indicated melt water percolation reduced the variability from a spread of -229%o to -106% relative to Standard Mean Ocean Water …

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Snow-Free Frost Exposure in the Western Cordillera Seasonal Snow Zones
… ecosystems of the Western Cordillera, seasonal snowpack provides insulation for soils and vegetation against freezing temperatures. While temperatures are warming overall, concurrent declines in snowpack are removing this protective thermal blanket. This may lead to events where the ground …

Practical snow depth sampling around six snow telemetry (SNOTEL) stations in Colorado and Wyoming, United States
… Service (NRCS) operates about 700 automated snowpack telemetry (SNOTEL) measurement stations. These stations measure snow depth (SD), snow water equivalent (SWE), air temperature and precipitation. To assess how representative the stations are of the surrounding 1 km2 area, a set of …

Improving Snow Deposition Magnitude and Heterogeneity Using Historic Snow Patterns in the California, USA, Sierra Nevada
Mountainous snow-covered landscapes in the Western United States behave like natural reservoirs, storing water during cold winter periods and sustaining snowmelt-driven streamflow vital for agriculture, municipalities, hydropower generation, and local ecosystems. In these regions, the timing and …

Organic Contaminant Release from Melting Snow
Snow efficiently scavenges organic contaminants from the atmosphere. Those chemicals can be released in short, concentrated pulses during spring snowmelt, potentially affecting both aquatic and terrestrial environments. In order to investigate the behavior of organic contaminants in melting snow …

SVALPEN Svalbard Radar Snow Penetration Experiment
… understanding of radar signal penetration into snow overlaying the ice. In this thesis, we aim to characterize how well a 24 GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar system is able to observe structure in and under a snowpack, and the conditions where radar penetration is ambiguous. This is …

Acoustic sounding of snow water equivalent
… wave was investigated as a means for determining Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) in cold wind-swept prairie and sub-alpine environments. Building on previous research conducted by investigators who have examined the propagation of sound in snow, digital signal processing was used to determine acoustic …

Cone penetration testing in polar snow
… in an attempt to assess the strength of polar snow; additionally, application of CPT data was considered, particularly in estimating surface bearing capacity. Almost 100 CPT tests were carried out and both qualitative and quantitative analysis of data was undertaken. Additional supporting …

Snow and window: archetypes of imagination
… investigates how the paired symbols of snow and window illuminate certain imaginative processes such as the threshold experience of creative and receptive acts. This work is an intertextual analysis and synthesis of self-allusive poems by Boris Pasternak, Ted Hughes, Gyula Illyes, and …

Marine snow tracking stereo imaging system
… By recording time-lapsed images of marine snow falling through the imaging volume over day-to- week timescales, we can estimate both the particle size distributions and, via 3D particle tracking velocimetry, their velocity distributions too. This allows us to directly estimate the net flux. …

Compacted Snow Testing Methodology and Instrumentation
Snow is a complex material that is difficult to characterize especially due to its high compressibility and temperature-sensitive nonlinear viscoelasticity. Snow mechanics has been intensively investigated by avalanche and army researchers for decades. However, fewer research studies have been …

Winter climate response to continental snow anomalies
… perturbation, continental-scale land surface snow anomalies, is investigated. Satellite observations of historical autumn-winter snow cover are used to develop model boundary conditions for a series of snow-forced numerical General Circulation Model (GCM) experiments. Realistic snow forcing …
