Pages : 88
Book Description
The heat transfer processes between a snow cover and its environment were studied and evaluated in order to predict changes in the physical characteristics of the snow cover from standard methorological information. The study was based on micrometeorological and related snow and soil data collected at the Keeweenaw Field Station (Mich.) from 1954-1956. Computations of conductive heat transfer in snow, using the Liljequist method, showed significant correlation with average air temperatures. Average values of the cold content of snow can be estimated from average air temperatures. Average temperature differences through the snow can be estimated from a knowledge of the previous 20-hr average air temperature; snow hardness can be estimated graphically from snow density and depth.

Book Description
Analysis of snow-cover observations made during November - March at 27 stations in Alaska, Canada and the northern United States for a 2 to 11 year period showed that the average snow density can be classified in four general categories. A nomograph in which the average winter air temperature and wind speed are the independent variables makes it possible to estimate the average snowcover density for any location in the Arctic, subarctic and North Temperate Zones. A comparison between observed and estimated densities for ten other test stations yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.91 with a standard error of estimate of 0.016 g/cu cm. An average snow density map of North America was drawn and the continent was divided into areas based on the four categories. (Author).
