Snow Grain Evolution

Snow Grain Evolution is a structural transformation process within the snowpack characterized by changes in the size, shape, and bonding of individual snow grains due to thermodynamic forcing, distinguished from other snowpack processes by its direct dependence on temperature gradient, vapor diffusion, and radiative energy exchange within the context of snowpack energy balance.
