dc.description | Abstract: The effects of a 20-ton surface burst explosion on the physical properties of drifted snow were measured. Density of the snow cover increased an average of 17%. Snow hardness decreased an average of 8%. Topographic surveys showed that snowdrift heights decreased through compaction resulting from ground shock and airblast. The results are for drifted snow accumulated around a drift fence. Different results might occur in a naturally accumulated snow cover. | - |
