Snowpack Dynamics

Snowpack dynamics refer to the processes and changes that occur in a layer of snow accumulation on the ground over time. Snowpacks can vary in depth, density, and temperature due to factors like weather conditions and sunlight. As temperatures fluctuate, snow can melt, refreeze, or compact, creating layers with different characteristics. These changes influence the stability of the snowpack and can affect activities like skiing and avalanche risk. Understanding snowpack dynamics is crucial for managing natural resources and ensuring safety in snowy environments.
