On the suitability of the Thorpe–Mason model for calculating sublimation of saltating snow

<p>The Thorpe and Mason (TM) model for calculating the mass lost from a sublimating snow grain is the basis of all existing small- and large-scale estimates of drifting snow sublimation and the associated snow mass balance of polar and alpine regions. We revisit this model to test its valid...
