Experiments on a Snow-Patch in the Mountains of Sweden

Abstract Investigations into the mechanism of dirt-cone formation, and snow patterning, are described. In each case the changes in patches of various materials arranged on a snow surface, were observed over a period of three weeks in the summer, under varying weather conditions. The effects of fine...
