Abstract

Scientists with expertise in avalanche formation, remote sensing issues, and other cryospheric matters gathered in Davos, Switzerland, in early April for a workshop on liquid water in snow—the first such meeting since 1982. The focus of this year's workshop, held at the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research, was to compare different measurement techniques and their accuracy, to discuss current assumptions for modeling liquid water transport and storage in snow, and to gather ideas on how to best obtain good validation and verification data.
