Abstract
In alpine terrain, wind-induced snow transport strongly influences the spatial and temporal variability of the snow cover. During their transport, blown snow particles undergo sublimation with an intensity depending on atmospheric conditions (air temperature and humidity). The mass loss due to blowing snow sublimation is a source of uncertainty for the mass balance of the alpine snowpack. Additionally, blowing snow sublimation modifies humidity and temperature in the surface boundary layer. To better quantify these effects in alpine terrain, a dedicated measurement setup has been deployed at the experimental site of Col du Lac Blanc (2720 m a.s.l., French Alps, Cryobs-Clim network) since winter 2015/2016. It consists in three vertical masts measuring the near-surface vertical profiles (0.2-5 m) of wind speed, air temperature and humidity and blowing snow fluxes and size distribution. Observations collected during blowing snow events without concurrent snowfall show only a slight increase in relative humidity (10-20%) and near-surface saturation is never observed. Estimation of blowing snow sublimation rates are then obtained from these measurements. They range between 0 and 5 mmSWE day-1 for blowing snow events without snowfall in agreement with previous studies in different environments (North American prairies, Antarctica). Finally, an estimation of the mass loss due to blowing snow sublimation at our experimental site is proposed for two consecutive winters. Future use of the database collected in this study includes the evaluation of blowing snow models in alpine terrain.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
