Snow Damge of Building in Heavy Snowfall.

Correlations Between Analyses and Forecasts of Banded Heavy Snow Ingredients and Observed Snowfall

[Changes in core temperature during snow shoveling among healthy young males in heavy-snowfall area of Chugoku region in Japan].

OBJECTIVES There are several recommendations on the prevention of hypothermia during snow shoveling. However, there seemed to be insufficient evidence supporting these recommendations because they are not based on data from actual snow shoveling research. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in brain temperature (tympanic temperature) and visceral temperature (rectal temperature...

On the evolution of the snow surface during snowfall

[1] The deposition and attachment mechanism of settling snow crystals during snowfall dictates the very initial structure of ice within a natural snowpack. In this letter we apply ballistic deposition as a simple model to study the structural evolution of the growing surface of a snowpack during its formation. The roughness of the snow surface is predicted from the behaviour of the time depende...

Snow in a Very Steep Rock Face: Accumulation and Redistribution During and After a Snowfall Event

Terrestrial laser scanning was used to measure snow thickness changes (perpendicular to the surface) in a rock face. The aim was to investigate the accumulation and redistribution of snow in extremely steep terrain (>60). The north-east face of the Chlein Schiahorn in the region of Davos in eastern Switzerland was scanned before and several times after a snowfall event. A summer scan without sn...
