Impact of water vapor diffusion and latent heat on the effective thermal conductivity of snow

<p>Heat transport in snowpacks is understood to occur through the two processes of heat conduction and latent heat transport carried by water vapor, which are generally treated as decoupled from one another. This paper investigates the coupling between both these processes in snow, with an emp...
