Lecture

Snow Properties: Physical and Mechanical Characteristics

Description

This lecture covers the physical properties of snow, including thermodynamics concepts such as conservation of energy and the Clausius Clapeyron Equation. It also delves into the saturation vapor pressure over ice and water surfaces, as well as the thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic properties of snow. The discussion extends to the elasticity, stress, strain, and strength of snow, highlighting factors influencing snow strength like grain shape, structure, and loading conditions.
