The heat transfer processes between a snow cover and its environment were studied and evaluated in order to predict changes in the physical characteristics of the snow cover from standard methorological information. The study was based on micrometeorological and related snow and soil data collected at the Keeweenaw Field Station (Mich.) from 1954-1956. Computations of conductive heat transfer in snow, using the Liljequist method, showed significant correlation with average air temperatures. Average values of the cold content of snow can be estimated from average air temperatures. Average temperature differences through the snow can be estimated from a knowledge of the previous 20-hr average air temperature; snow hardness can be estimated graphically from snow density and depth.

Originally published in 1974, Arctic and Alpine Environments examines, the relatively simple ecosystems of arctic and alpine lands that still occupy extensive areas little disturbed by modern technology. The book argues that there is a necessity for carefully controlled development of the resources of these regions and suggests that there is a risk of irreversible disturbance without full understanding of these regions. This book provides a detailed documentation of cold-stressed arctic and alpine terrestrial environments and systematically deals with the present and past physical environment – climate, hydrology and glaciology; biota – treeline, vegetation, vertebrate zoology, and historical biogeography; abiotic processes – geomorphological and pedological and the role of man – bioclimatology, archaeology and technological impact, including radioecology. The book will appeal to academics and students of environmental and biological science, as well as providing a significant source for conservationists’, government agencies and industrial organizations.
