Record #111409:

Transport and sublimation of snow in wind-scoured alpine terrain / J.W. Pomeroy.

Title: Transport and sublimation of snow in wind-scoured alpine terrain / J.W. Pomeroy.
Author(s): Pomeroy, J. W.
Date: 1991.
Publisher: Wallingford, Oxfordshire: IAHS Press
In: Snow, hydrology and forests in high alpine areas. Proceedings of an international symposium held during the 20th General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics at Vienna, 11-24 August 1991. (1991.),
Abstract: Measurements in Scottish highlands indicate mass fluxes several orders of magnitude less than for transport over complete snow covers. Model of snow transport processes indicates that vertical transport of blowing snow out of near-surface atmospheric boundary layer and sublimation of blowing snow within boundary layer deplete supply of snow, with implications for downwind accumulations of snow in forested areas and topographic depressions.
