Popis: Investigations into the mechanism of dirt-cone formation, and snow patterning, are described. In each case the changes in patches of various materials arranged on a snow surface, were observed over a period of three weeks in the summer, under varying weather conditions. The effects of fine rock flour on the formation of dirt cones are analysed. Two main weather types are recognized as having different, but important, effects on the surface features of the snow; föhn-type winds, and calm, sunny conditions.
