Main publication details
MARC recordMicro-meteorological conditions for snow melt / Michael Kuhn.
| Title: | Micro-meteorological conditions for snow melt / Michael Kuhn. |
| Author(s): | Kuhn, Michael. |
| Date: | 1987. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1987.), Vol. 33(113) (1987) |
| Abstract: | Investigates conditions exactly at onset or end of melt, using air temperature, humidity, and, as radiation term, sum of global and reflected short-wave plus downward long-wave radiation. For turbulent exchange in boundary layer, examples are computed with transfer coefficient of 18.5 W m⁻² K⁻¹, corresponding to average over ablation period on Alpine glacier. Shows that snow may melt at air temperatures of -10°C and may stay frozen at +10°C. |
| Notes: | Journal of Glaciology. Vol. 33(113) :24-26 (1987). |
| Keywords: | 551.578.462 -- Snow cover, ablation. 551.584.34 -- Microclimates, snow and ice surfaces. E10 -- Glaciology: snow and avalanches. |
