Abstract

The object under study is the blowing snow, i.e., the transport of snow lifted from the snow surface. The method is described for predicting the blowing snow initiation using the output data of the WRF-ARW numerical atmospheric model. The skill scores are presented for the forecasts for January 2013 calculated from data of 10 stations of the Canadian weather observation network.
