Assessing impact of snow sublimation for hydropower production in Norway (SnowSub)

Hvor mye snø går tapt i løpet av en vintersesong på grunn av sublimasjon? Svaret på dette spørsmålet er spesielt viktig for vannkraftproduksjon siden snødekket er det største magasinet i mange vannkraftsystemer. Sublimasjon er prosessen når snøen (dvs. frossent vann) blir til vanndamp. Sublimas...
