High resolution modelling of snow transport in complex terrain using downscaled MM5 wind fields

Snow transport is one of the most dominant processes influencing the snow cover accumulation and ablation in high mountain environments. Hence, the spatial and temporal variability of the snow cover is significantly modified with respective consequences on the total amount of water in the snow pack,...
