Spatiotemporal dynamics of snow erosion, deposition and horizontal mass flux

Michael Lehning, Enrico Paterna, Philip Crivelli

The quantification of snow transport, both in wind tunnels and the field, apply particle counting methods limited to punctual sampling of relatively small volumes. Particle counting can only capture horizontal mass fluxes, failing to measure snow erosion o ...

Wind tunnel observations of weak and strong snow saltation dynamics

Michael Lehning, Enrico Paterna, Philip Crivelli

Theoretical considerations suggest that saltation dynamics is dominated by either aerodynamic entrainment or by a combination of ejection and rebound at a given time and location. Calling these two regimes weak and strong saltation, respectively, we have i ...

Fragmentation of wind-blown snow crystals

Michael Lehning, Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Francesco Comola, Enrico Paterna

Understanding the dynamics driving the transformation of snowfall crystals into blowing snow particles is critical to correctly account for the energy and mass balances in polar and alpine regions. Here we propose a fragmentation theory of fractal snow cry ...
