Snowpack Applications: Snow Transport

This lecture covers the modeling principles of settling in SNOWPACK, temperature and vapor transport equations, Adams-Sato thermal conductivity, avalanche warning systems, forecasting applications, glacier protection, snow farming calculations, climate change effects on snow cover duration, and systematic topographical differences in snow depth change. It also discusses saltation mass flux, wind tunnel experiments on snow saltation, comparison using 'Wind Local', mountain range pattern comparison, preferential deposition, LES simulations of coupled flow-particle motion, and LES-LSM validation.
