Record #33718:

Some properties of drifting snow / Malcolm Mellor, Uwe Radok.

Title: Some properties of drifting snow / Malcolm Mellor, Uwe Radok.
Author(s): Mellor, Malcolm.
Radok, Uwe.
Date: 1960.
Publisher: New York: Pergamon Press, Symposium Publications Division, on behalf of the Director of Meteorology, Melbourne, Australia
In: Antarctic meteorology : proceedings of the symposium held in Melbourne, February 1959. (1960.),
Abstract: Five sets of snow-drift measurements with new snow-traps used for estimates of drift-snow density as a function of height. Observed values at 4 cm substantially larger than theoretical values, indicating different snow drift mechanism near ground, similar to "saltation" described for sand. Saltation drift transport estimated at 10% of total.
Notes:

In: Antarctic meteorology : proceedings of the symposium held in Melbourne, February 1959 / Commonwealth of Australia. Bureau of Meteorology.

Keywords: 539.3 -- Ice, mechanical properties.
551.578.46 -- Snow cover and snow patches.
E10 -- Glaciology: snow and avalanches.
