SummarySoil surface temperature, net radiation and soil heave data during a series of eleven consecutive needle ice growth-melt cycles at Vancouver, Canada, were studied using computer-graphic techniques. A method of analyzing the morphologic evolution of a needle growth using surface temperature and soil heave data is presented. Lastly, an atmospheric-geomorphic correlation matrix derived partially from the analysis of surface temperature-heave data is used to highlight the importance of…

Field observations of soil temperature and water tension feedback effects on needle ice nights
SummaryNumerous laboratory studies have indicated that thermal gradients may produce appreciable soil water movement in the absence of a strong suction field. In addition the soil water flow and…
The climatonomy of a needle ice event: An experiment in simulation climatology
SummarySoil surface temperature, net radiation and surface heave are used to evaluate a computer simulation of a needle ice event at Vancouver, Canada. The simulation which includes fusion and soil…
First observations on needle ice formation in the sub-Antarctic
The temperature regime on Marion Island in the subAntarctic is highly conducive to the occurrence of diurnal soil frost and needle ice growth (Holness 2003). Needle ice is the usual term applied to…

TLDR
It is shown that increasing seeding rates to secure dense stands may ameliorate the damage done by the needle ice in the erosion of slopes, especially those which are lightly- or non-vegetated.
