Links between snowpack physics and snowpack chemistry / Robert E. Davis.
Title: | Links between snowpack physics and snowpack chemistry / Robert E. Davis. |
Author(s): | Davis, Robert E. |
Date: | 1991. |
Publisher: | Berlin: Springer |
In: | Seasonal snowpacks; processes of compositional change. (1991.), |
Abstract: | Theories and observations of dry and wet snow metamorphism are surveyed with discussions on location and migration of chemical species. Followed by review of observations of heterogeneous water flow and some attempts to model percolation in two modes. Theory of water flow coupled to solute transport is presented for homogeneous flow in homogeneous snow layer. Method accounting for water flow in multiple paths is described, summarizing difficulties of coupling solute flow. Both these discussions of metamorphism and water flow finish with comments on disparity between theory and measurements, especially in relation to effects of stratigraphy of snow cover. |
