Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
Why does snow behave in two mutually exclusive ways? Pictures 1-4: Here the snow mimics the pattern of the underlying surface. Pictures 5-8: Here the snow inverts the pattern of the underlying surface. I have only vague ideas what might cause this: - the hollows in the underground conduct heat differently than the tiles and protect the snow from melting, - the hollows in the underground cause eddies in the air-stream and this accumulates more snow. Marcel Minnaert does not mention this I think, but I will have to search his books again. |
