Formation process and direction distribution of snow cornices
AbstractThe formation process of a snow cornice was traced, with the finding that a cornice grew by extending leeward as a horizontal slab and by depositing windblown snow particles on a cantilever slab, notwithstanding the behavior of eddies on the leeward of a mountain ridge.The collection coefficient of windblown snow particles by a cornice was found to range from 2% to 50%.Investigation of the direction distribution of cornices on the mountain ridge revealed that the cornice arranged itself perpendicular to each ridge direction.
