Field Guide to Snow Crystals by Edward R. Lachapelle

Secrets of the Snow : Visual Clues to Avalanche and Ski Conditions by Edward R. LaChapelle - The surface of fallen snow - its contours and texture - can tell the interested observer much about the forces that shaped it and about its stability and what it is likely to do. Will it be good for skiing or for packing as a snowball? Will it slide? Is it dangerous? Secrets of the Snow is an overview of the easily visible aspects of snow in the alpine mountain landscape, serving as a companion volume to the author's Field Guide to Snow Crystals, which examines snow at the microscopic level. Describing visual snow features and textures arising from climate, wind-drift, layering, solar radiation, and melting, Secrets of the Snow explains how snow may be "read" for information on avalanche formation and suitability for winter sports. Closely linked photographs and text illustrate the shapes, forms, and textures found at the surface of winter snow covers; describe their origins in wind and weather conditions; and guide the reader in interpreting these features to predict snow behavior. Secrets of the Snow is essential for winter sports enthusiasts, mountaineers, and avalanche-safety specialists.

Author Edward R. LaChapelle is Professor Emeritus of Geophysics and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington. He is the author of Field Guide to Snow Crystals and ABC of Avalanche Safety; co-author with Austin Post of Glacier Ice, and author of the original USDA Snow Avalanche Handbook. He began his snow career at the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research, and as a U.S. Forest Service snow ranger he developed many of the techniques of avalanche forecasting and control in use today.

Cold Climate Hydrometeorology - Presents a scientific explanation for the influence of snow and glaciers on the environment, emphasizing the importance of maintaining environmental standards. Detailed coverage is given to the major areas of hydrometeorology, climatology, glaciology, and snow hydrology. Features certain empirical results and discussions based on experiments of Indian scientists which are new and unpublished. Contains a chapter on special observations using snow courses, radio isotope measurements, stratigraphic observations, gamma-ray techniques, and satellite-based procedures.
