Short summary
We studied how air moves within snow in Arctic regions and how this affects the snow's structure. Using a new method that links two computer models, we found that cold weather can trigger air movement inside the snow, creating vertical channels and changing the snow's density and temperature. These changes are not captured by traditional models, so our work helps improve how snow and climate processes are simulated in cold environments.
