Snowpack Theory

This lecture covers the theory behind snowpack, including topics such as the installation and testing of SNOWPACK software, VMware Horizon Client, and the processes involved in snowpack formation, such as snowfall determination, snow compaction, and energy conservation. It also delves into the mechanisms of heat and mass transfer in snow, including conduction, vapor transport, advection, and convection, as well as the calculation of water vapor transport by diffusion and the phase change of snow from melt to refreeze.
