Physics of Arctic Snowpacks and Climate
Canadian High-Arctic Research Station (CHARS), Ikaluktutiak (Cambridge Bay), Nunavut, Canada Ikaluktutiak (Cambridge Bay),, NunavutSnow plays a critical role in Arctic and worldwide climates. However, Arctic snow cover challenges most sophisticated models, as those were initially developed to describe snow in temperate and alpine regions. Formation, accumulation, and metamorphism processes of Arctic snow are specific to polar regions and our knowledge on spatial and temporal variability of those processes […]
