Аннотация:Results of wind-tunnel investigations of the propagation of air within snow showed that the process responsible for causing horizontal air flux in the pore space of snow was not necessarily related to specific surface topography. The reasons for this flux formation are: (i) the near-surface wind characteristics, such as the frequency of the pressure variation related to the turbulent character of the near-surface wind; (ii) the structure of the near-surface snow, responsible for the air exchange between the atmosphere and the pore space; and (iii) the temperature difference between the snow and the atmosphere, forming the air-density difference which augments or decreases the air exchange. This paper summarizes the experimentally observed effects that the wind and the air flux generated in the pore space had on snow. These included isothermal temperature distributions through-out the artificial snow cover, snow-density change and snow recrystallization.
