Influence of stress, temperature and crystal morphology on isothermal densification and specific surface area decrease of new snow
Laboratory-based, experimental data for the microstructural evolution of new snow are scarce, though applications would benefit from a quantitative characterization of the main influences. To this end, we have analyzed the metamorphism and concurrent densification of new snow under isotherma...
