From Mike Dettinger

So what does melt the snow?

You need energy to melt snow “Snow” = Ice, liquid water, and air Melting snow requires a phase change from ice to liquid. The phase change breaks bonds. The amount of energy required to break these bonds is called the Latent heat of fusion It takes Joules to melt 1 kg of ice

Sources of energy for the snowpack MELTING Rain Solar Reflected Solar Incident/ Emitted Longwave Thermally Active So SrSr P L in S in L out G ΔE Snow Soil Ground heat Flux Sensible Heat Flux Latent Heat Flux LeLe H

Solar Radiation During a clear day Solar Radiation is the primary energy input into a system

Terrestrial Radiation Clouds, Trees and anything that has a temperature emits radiation, including you! °F

Sensible Heat Flux Think Convection (hair dryer) Warm and windy conditions = larger sensible heat flux

Latent Heat Flux Water Vapor Liquid Condensation Latent heat released Heat melts snow! Warm, windy, and HUMID conditions = larger latent heat flux
