My doctoral project focuses on improving the physical representation of water vapor fluxes and convective processes within the hoar layer of the Arctic snowpack. Although often neglected by snow models, these processes have a significant influence on the microstructure and density of the snowpack. Using field data from northern Canada, laboratory experiments, and simulations with the SVS2-CROCUS model, I am seeking to better understand and parameterize water vapor transport in snow. This work is part of a broader effort to obtain a clearer picture of the snow water equivalent in Canada in support of the Terrestrial Snow Mass Mission (TSMM).
