Record #151323:

Shape characteristics of freshly fallen snowflakes and their short-term changes / S.R. Fassnacht, E.D. Soulis, N. Kouwen.

Title: Shape characteristics of freshly fallen snowflakes and their short-term changes / S.R. Fassnacht, E.D. Soulis, N. Kouwen.
Author(s): Fassnacht, S. R.
Soulis, E. D.
Kouwen, N.
Date: 1999.
Publisher: Wallingford: IAHS Press
In: Interactions between the cryosphere, climate and greenhouse gases. (1999.),
Abstract: Simulates needle-shaped crystal structures that occur in range of -4 to -6°C. Compares observations of freshly fallen snowflakes to predicted probability distribution functions (pdfs). Modification of snow crystal shape is estimated from laboratory experiments. There is decrease in effective surface area of fresh flakes up to 50% over 2-3 days.
Notes:
