| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The surface hoar layer is known to be one of the most typical weak layer for dry slab avalanches. In order to investigate the features of surface hoar layer, we developed apparatuses that make surface hoar artificially using circuit wind tunnels. Surface hoar was grown on the snow surface using the high water vapor pressure air and the cooled snow surface on the cooling panel. The shapes of the artificially grown surface hoar crystals were sector, plane, column, cup, and needle.
After growing the surface hoar, new snow particles were piled up on the surface hoar layer. Shear frame tests were carried out after sintering snow. Focus on the results of the grain size was 2 mm or less, the shear frame index tended to decrease with increase the grain size of surface hoar. Cross-sectional observations revealed that small surface hoar crystal was buried under additional snow particles. On the other hand, additional snow particles could not enter the layer of large surface hoar crystals.
