Capillary suction across the soil–snow interface as a mechanism for the formation of wet basal layers under gliding snowpacks

Capillary suction across the soil–snow interface is a possible mechanism for the formation of wet basal snow layers, which are necessary for snow gliding and glide-snow avalanches. However, little is known about the conditions under which this process occurs. We investigated capillary suction across...
