Physically-based models of blowing snow and wind¯ow are used to develop a distributed model of blowing snow transport and sublimation over complex terrain. The model is applied to an arctic tundra basin. A reasonable agreement with results from snow surveys is obtained, provided sublimation processe
Transportation, sublimation and accumulation of snow dominate snow cover development in the Arctic and produce episodic high evaporative ¯uxes. Unfortunately, blowing snow processes are not presently incorporated in any hydrological or meteorological models. To demonstrate the application of simple
Sublimation ¯uxes during blowing snow have been estimated to return 10±50% of seasonal snowfall to the atmosphere in North American prairie and arctic environments. These ¯uxes are calculated as part of blowing snow two-phase particle transport models with provision for phase change based upon a par
