Depth of snow and forst on a palsa mire, Finnish Lapland
Analysis of snow and frost measurements made on a palsa mire in Utsjoki, northernmost Finland from September 1984 to October 1985. Rather good multiple and logarithmic regressions were found between snow and frost depths of March and April
Evidence of recent changes in global snow and ice cover in Global Change.
Data on recent variations in the seasonal extent of snow cover and sea ice, of the terminal position and volume of alpine glaciers, and of ground temperature profiles in permafrost area are reviewed.
Surficial talus fabric and particle gliding over snow on Lassen Peak, California
This paper reports on the fabric of experimental clasts initially stopping on snow-covered talus and later deposited on the slope surface after the seasonal shrinking of the snowbank. Its main purpose is to ascertain whether fabrics developed
on the snow surface can be retained after ablation onto the underlying talus| the fabrics attained by these particles will also be compared with those of clasts found in situ on a nearby talus.
parameters, especially precipitation through the effects of snow cover. The effects of precipitation poor summers in 1985-87 and the colder than normal and snow poor winters of 1985 and 1987 were instrumental in intensifying the effects of seasonal frost
The aim of this study is to illustrate differences between three forest sites with respect to the relationship between the snow cover and the air and soil temperature. During nine years (1980-88) observations have been carried out about
