Snow densification during rain
Observations and measurements indicate rain often has a major impact on snow slope stability. Measurements to investigate the effects of wetting of low density, alpine snow were made at Snoqualmie Pass, WA, USA. Results indicate that on first wetting, the densification rate can increase by three orders of magnitude. This initial burst of densification occurs independently of the gravitational l...
متن کاملIodine speciation in rain, snow and aerosols
Iodine oxides, such as iodate, should theoretically be the only stable sink species for iodine in the troposphere. However, field observations have increasingly found very little iodate and significant amounts of iodide and organically bound iodine in precipitation and aerosols. The aim of this study was to investigate iodine speciation, including 5 the organic fraction, in rain, snow, and aero...
متن کاملTemporal variability in physical speciation of metals during a winter rain-on-snow event.
Particulate matter in urban rivers transports a significant fraction of pollutants, changes rapidly during storm events, and is difficult to characterize. In this study, the physical speciation of trace metals and organic C in an urban river and upstream headwaters site in Torrington, CT, were measured during a winter rain-on-snow event. In addition, a selective fractionation scheme, using memb...
متن کاملModel simulations of the modulating effect of the snow cover in a rain-on-snow event
In October 2011, the Swiss Alps underwent a marked rain-on-snow (ROS) event when a large snowfall on 8 and 9 October was followed by intense rain on 10 October. This resulted in severe flooding in some parts of Switzerland. Model simulations were carried out for 14 meteorological stations in two affected regions of the Swiss Alps using the detailed physics-based snowpack model SNOWPACK. We also...
متن کاملRain and snow putting damper on Danes ' year
CD MARUSSICH UPS Left fielder Tracy Kirk will play a key role In the Danes' bid to capture the Albany Invitational. forced that situation to be abandoned. According to head coach Lee Rhenish, a number of other possibilities do still exist: • One alternative would be to postpone the games until tomorrow, with the hope that the weather holds out and the field slays in good enough condition to wit...
