The snow surface is very dynamic, even though it is represented as being constant over the snow season. We illustrate several examples over space and time. We estimate the roughness of the snow surface using the shape of the surface and from the wind profile across the wind surface. We use these roughness estimate to compute the amount of snow lost to sublimation (like evaporation but from snow to vapor).
