Short summary
We investigate how various meteorological and terrain factors affect surface hoar formation in complex terrain. We modelled the distribution of three surface hoar layers with a coupled NWP - snow cover model, and verified the model with field studies. The layers developed in regions and elevation bands with warm moist air, light winds, and cold snow surfaces. Possible avalanche forecasting applications are discussed.
