Wind Tunnel Experiments: Influence of Erosion and Deposition on Wind-Packing of New Snow
Wind sometimes creates a hard, wind-packed layer at the surface of a snowpack. The formation of such wind crusts was observed during wind tunnel experiments with combined SnowMicroPen and Microsoft Kinect sensors. The former provides the hardness of new and wind-packed snow and the latter spatial sn...
