MARC recordThe formation and physical properties of surface hoar / R.M. Lang, Robert L. Brown, B.R. Leo.
| Title: | The formation and physical properties of surface hoar / R.M. Lang, Robert L. Brown, B.R. Leo. |
| Author(s): | Lang, R. M. Brown, Robert L. Leo, B. R. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. (1991.), Vol. 72(44, supplement) (1991) |
| Abstract: | AGU Fall Meeting Program and Abstracts, December 9-13, 1991. Field studies conducted during winters of 1982-83 and 1983-84 in Montana. Mechanical shear strength tests indicated that, although layer would become visually undetectable, shear strength remained too low to measure for extended periods of time. Initiation of growth depended on several near-surface and atmospheric conditions. Steady-state approximation for conservation of mass and momentum, in conjunction with temperature data, predicts surface crystal growth cannot be diffusion limited process. |
| Notes: | Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. Vol. 72(44, supplement) :182 (1991). |
| Keywords: | 551.5 -- Meteorology. 551.574.42 -- Rime, hoarfrost and glazed frost. E9 -- Glaciology: meteorology and climatology. |
