Abstract
The thermal conductivity and diffusivity of natural snow computed from Fourier-type analyses of annual snow temperature variations are shown to be strongly temperature dependent. The computed temperature coefficients of-0.007 and -0.012 deg-1 respectively, agree well with older laboratory experiments carried out on polycrystalline ice.Keywords
