An attempt to evaluate snow methamorphosis according to environmental conditions in the Chocholowska Valley (West Tatra Mountains)

Year, pages: 1999, 135 - 152

This paper discusses problems of seasonal snow cover metamorphosis. An attempt was made to evaluate snow cover metamorphosis according to environmental and meteorological conditions at five sites in the Chocholowska Valley in winter seasons 1994/95 and 1995/96. The physical parameters of snow (density, hardness, snow temperature) were measured and the descriptions and photographs of snow profiles and snow crystals were prepared. An attempt was made also to reconstruct the history of development of individual snow layers in the snow profiles.
