Snow CoverSeasonal snow causes rapid and profound changes in the characteristics of the Earth surface, and snow that does not completely melt in the summer can compact and metamorphose over time to form glacial ice. Snow reflects sunlight, cools the lower atmosphere, insulates underlying surfaces and stores water. Representations of processes in snow are therefore important in climate, ecology, glaciology, hydrology and weather prediction models. We have received funding from NERC, ESA, the EU Northern Periphery Programme, the Carnegie Trust and INTERACT. People involved in snow research at Edinburgh:
