On Snow-Storms

Abstract

The developing conditions of snow-storms, shifting quantities of flying snow, vertical distribution of flying snow and so on have been studied by people concerned with counter-measures against snowdrift damages. Whereas numerous data are available on the developing conditions, sufficient data are hard to find on the shifting quantities and vertical distribution that have larger bearing in the problem of snowdrift. The authors, also engaged in the investigations on the performance of snow fences and shelterbelts, undertook some measurements of vertical distribution which was closely related with their theme of research. The data obtained are reported here.
