Modelling the arctic snowpack properties in Svalbard using SNOWPACK

Abstract

En décembre 2015, une avalanche a enseveli 11 maisons (Figure 3) et a provoqué la mort de deux personnes. C'est dans ce contexte dramatique que le NVE (Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate) a demandé de l'aide à l'UNIS (Université du Svalbard) afin d'améliorer les prévisions avalancheuses du Svalbard et protéger ses 2'642 habitants. Ainsi, mon projet s'inscrit directement dans la ligne directrice de différents projets en cours au Svalbard, afin d'améliorer les prévisions d'avalanches. Traiter des données météo provenant de six stations. Intégrer les données dans le logiciel SNOWPACK. Modéliser le manteau neigeux à l'aide du logiciel SNOWPACK. Valider le modèle avec des mesures de terrains en effectuant des profils de neige. Éventuellement, comparer l'évolution du manteau neigeux entre un environnement alpin (Suisse) et arctique

Norwegian resistance movement

The Norwegian resistance (Norwegian: Motstandsbevegelsen) to the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany began after Operation Weserübung in 1940 and ended in 1945.

Snowpack

Snowpack forms from layers of snow that accumulate in geographic regions and high elevations where the climate includes cold weather for extended periods during the year. Snowpacks are an important water resource that feed streams and rivers as they melt. Therefore, snowpacks are both the drinking water source for many communities and a potential source of flooding (in case of sudden melting). Snowpacks also contribute mass to glaciers in their accumulation zone.

Norway

Norway (Norge), formally the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe, the mainland territory of which comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The remote Arctic island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard also form part of Norway. Bouvet Island, located in the Subantarctic, is a dependency of Norway; it also lays claims to the Antarctic territories of Peter I Island and Queen Maud Land. The capital and largest city in Norway is Oslo, situated in the south of the country.
