Research Abstract |
Surface snow is one of snow types on sliding layer of surface snow avalanches. It has been considered that surface hoar developed by supply of excess atmospheric vapor to radiation-cooled snow surface. This study revealed that greatly grown surface hoar, which could become sliding layer snow of surface snow avalanche, was formed by attaching of super-cooled droplets in super-cooled fog/cloud covering snow surface of newly fallen snow or lightly grown surface hoar, and that heavy snowfall just after developing surface hoar directly led to the release of surface snow avalanche. However, the successive combination of above two meteorological conditions was revealed to hardly occur under normal change of weather in actuality.
