Snow Dynamics

Snow dynamics refers to how snow behaves and changes over time, influenced by factors like temperature, wind, and weather. It involves processes such as accumulation from snowfall, compaction, melting, and movement due to wind or gravity. These interactions determine snow’s stability, structure, and potential hazards, especially in mountain and winter environments. Understanding snow dynamics helps predict avalanches, design safe infrastructure, and improve weather forecasting during winter conditions. It is a complex interplay between climate conditions and snow properties, continuously evolving as new weather events occur.
