Introduction
Spatial variations in snow depth can have a considerable effect on the balance of energy at the ground surface, which ultimately governs the thermal response of the ground. The snow cover acts like an insulator during the winter months, dampening the geothermal response of the ground surface to significant changes in climatic conditions such as air temperature and wind speed. Due to the prevailing wind direction and topographic features of a site, the depth of snow can vary considerably. This example explores the effect of different snow depths accumulated on either side of a road embankment.
