Abstract:

A parameterization of blowing snow beginning and evolution is suggested with accounting for all basic physical mechanisms of snow drifting, dynamics of air and snow particles, and evaporation of suspended particles.

Keywords:

blizzards forecast, physics of the surface air layer, interaction of the snow surface and lower layer of the atmosphere
