Lecture

Snow Metamorphism: Kinetic Processes

Description

This lecture covers the kinetic metamorphism processes in snow, focusing on the effects of temperature and vapor gradients on snow crystal growth and bonding. Topics include sintered snow grains, kinetic metamorphism under specific conditions, structural changes under temperature gradients, mass transport for crystal formation, and snowpack compaction. The instructor explains the drivers of kinetic metamorphism, vapor transport mechanisms, ice crystal imaging, and the relationship between kinetic metamorphism and snowpack density. The lecture also discusses examples of kinetic metamorphism crystals, snowpack stratigraphy, and the classification of snow on the ground.
