# output:
You're a student learning one subject deeply enough to both understand it and draw it beautifully in painterly pixel art: **snowy mountains at distance: snowfields, couloirs, cornices and glacier over rock, seen from miles away**.

voxsim has never had a convincing snowy mountain. The five real places see them constantly:

- Mount Stuart and Dragontail over the Enchantments;
- Rainier and Baker on clear horizons;
- the Olympics behind the coast;
- Glacier Peak from the Skykomish.

The work: how snow really lies on steep rock (it sheds from steep faces and collects in gullies, on ledges and in bowls), seasonal snowline and glaciers, cornices and wind scour, and how a snow peak reads in value and colour from 5, 20 and 80 km through haze. Then draw it, matching real photos of named peaks.

**Two halves, done together.**

- **Observe how it works.** Study the real thing from real sources: photos, video stills, field guides, scientific and historical literature. Find out what it is, why it looks the way it does, how it changes with season, weather and time, and how it behaves.
- **Translate it into pixels.** Find a method that draws it at every scale voxsim shows: close scene (~0.1 m/px), landscape, 30° iso and region (~1 m/px). Draw from what you observed.

The observation should be good enough that a simulation could use it, and the drawing good enough to sit beside the photos.

**The ambition, stated plainly:** match the reference: first its form (the real silhouettes, where the big lights and darks fall, what sits where), then its finer detail. Don't settle for "approximate it with reasonable effort". This is a safe space to fail many times on the way.

**Ways in that have worked here**, yours to use:

- **Break it down and solve bottom-up.** One crop, one form, one mass at a time, each right against the photo before combining.
- **Measure deeply.** Downsample the photo to your target resolution and treat it as an answer key. Extract its notan (2–3 value groups), value histogram, edge and orientation maps. Diff your work against it. Build any small tools that help you see. Numbers are instruments, not judges: the willow student's best-scoring version was its worst foliage.
- **Call critics.** You have the Agent tool: spawn a fresh critic sub-agent whenever you want cold eyes on a photo | yours pair. Give it just the images and ask what's wrong, most important first. Do it often.

**Photos are the standard.**

- Close-read real photos at every distance: ground-level, oblique aerial (Bing Maps bird's-eye, Google Earth 3D, WA Ecology's shoreline obliques; view for study, don't bulk-scrape) and top-down.
- `python3 ~/work/pixelart-studies/tools/imgfetch.py "<query>" -n 12 -o <dir> --sheet` fetches openly licensed photos (use `--src openverse` if Wikimedia returns 429s).
- Mark Ferrari's pixel art is a fine reference for colour, value contrast and micro-form technique. The photos, not Ferrari, decide what's true.

# Ready to use: techniques from the studio (2026-09-25 night)

Techniques that the studio critic, after 13 rounds of 4–10× comparison against photos and Ferrari's own pixels, judged Ferrari-grade or ready. Each links to the student's work, which has the code and the lessons. Offered to the voxsim painting lanes as a resource, not a spec.

**Palette as light** (all students). One index map, many hours or seasons: swapping the palette relights the scene, as Ferrari's own files do.

- elements/cobbles (hour palettes)
- elements/willow (season × hour sheet)
- elements/channel (midday, overcast, dusk)

**Water** (elements/channel; LESSONS.md, src/technique.py; best image: out/s5_low_dusk_4x.png)

- Water is the sky's own ramp, indexed by reflected elevation, with checker as the water's material.
- Near edge light, far edge dark, with stepped bites.
- Reflections copy the painted pixels, then compress the values.
- A sheen band under the far bank.
- Far channels are one-row runs; detail comes from the row footprint.
- A "milky vs clear" setting: glacial water is nearly opaque, and a milky mirror palette stops midday water going swimming-pool blue.

**Stones and gravel** (elements/cobbles; cobbles_api.py; best: img/sheet_A_hour_x_distance.png)

- Darkness goes only in the pockets between stones, never as an outline.
- Stones are lopsided, faceted 3-D shapes, not ellipses.
- A stone → tick → grain distance ladder with no pop.
- The Ferrari boulder rules: a Bayer 2×2 lit face, a solid crown, a dark crescent ~20% of the minor size, and reflected-light edge pixels against dark neighbours.

**Cast shadows** (elements/willow, elements/driftwood). The ground itself, two steps darker, with its texture kept inside.

**Contact** (elements/willow). Grass overlapping the foot of a bush or stone.

**Willow leaves** (elements/willow). A narrow leaf stroke at willow scale, and silver undersides as pale flecks on dark. David thinks the willow may exceed the existing trees.

**Wood** (elements/driftwood; src/driftwood.py)

- A five-class cylinder shading order proven against Ferrari's own V09 trunk, with the lit band kept free of checker.
- Backlit rims.
- Grain, checks and knots drawn as clean runs.
- Piles separated by value.
- Wet wood.

**Grass zoom** (elements/grass-lod). A 64-frame zoom with no pops; contrast compresses steadily with distance.

**Far and iso** (aerial/; lib/tech_*.py; measure/). Measured canopy rules (crown spacing 2.2–2.9 lit-cap radii, lit share 0.35–0.56, conifers

# How to paint willow scrub

*A tutorial by the willow student. The story of how I got here, dead ends included, is in [POST.md](POST.md); my raw working thread is in [the notebook](../../notebooks/willow/notebook.md).*

## What I chose to teach, and why

I could have written one long walkthrough of my painter. I don't think that's what a reader needs from me, because the painter is a stack of about ten separate techniques, and most of them are useful on their own: the clump grammar works for any leafy mass, the contact rules work for anything that stands on gravel, the palette system works for anything at all. So this is a **front page and ten short how-tos**, each one technique, taught from the study's real code (snapshotted verbatim in [`code/`](code/)) and the real images it produced, including the failure it replaced. They're ordered the way the painter runs, but each stands alone.

I left out things that didn't earn their place: the physics bush I started with, the random parameter search, and the gravel (other students do gravel better).

![One willow, layer by layer](img/t_construction.png)

*The whole painter in one picture: `willow.paint_willow` with later layers switched off, same seed throughout. [`code/figs.py`](code/figs.py) makes this and every `t_` figure from the real functions.*

## The idea in one paragraph

Foliage is a heap of **clumps**. Each clump is lit on the side toward the sun and dark along its bottom, where it tucks under the clump in front. Paint the clumps as a *light field*, not as colour, then draw small marks from that field: dense and bright on clump caps, sparse and dim below, none in the dark bands. The mass stays calm in value and all the contrast lives inside the marks. The edge of the mass is where the clumps end, lit on top. That's Ferrari's hedge. A willow is that grammar laid on a willow's own anatomy (a fan of arching wands from a root crown), with a willow's own mark (narrow leaves hanging off a twig), sitting in the world (a contact line, a pocket, the ground's own shadow).

## The how-tos

# How-to 4: The far view: haze, bands and palette economy

*[Back to the field guide](../TUTORIAL.md). Code: `~/work/pixelart-studies/aerial/lib/painter.py` (bands, cavity tone, band collapse, sky), `lib/pal.py` (lights, haze, budget), `lib/subjects.py: range_valley`. Plates: `plates/range_far*.png`. Sheet: `sheets/sheet_far.png`.*

This is how the evening range was made: a perspective camera 3.3 km up, pitched 24° down over a 9 km range with a glacial valley and a river. The plate below was the one singled out.

![Evening range](../img/plate_range_far_evening.png)

## 1. What the photos say

Measured row by row down a high oblique (Blue Ridge, [how-to 1](01-measure.md#step-5-haze-row-by-row)), from near to far:

- the **black point rises** from L\* 0.5 to 48;
- the **value range collapses** from 45 to 9;
- b\* goes from 0 to −14, turning blue.

Far land is two close, lifted, blue values, a lit and a shade. That's also how Ferrari's far masses behave: the master-copy student found that his lit colour holds with distance and his shadow colour shifts.

## 2. Depth bands, with dithered seams

Split the ray distance into bands (here 2.5, 4.5 and 7 km), and give each band a haze mix toward the light's haze colour (0 / 22 / 45 / 68%). Mixing toward a light haze lifts the black point first and compresses the range, as measured.


band = band_of(G["t"] * (1 + (thr_4 - 0.5) * 0.06), bands)     # jitter distance by a Bayer threshold: dithered seams
...
def haze_mix(rgb, light, f):
    return rgb * (1 - f) + light.haze * f



The band edges have to be dithered, or each one is a hard milky ring across the valley (notebook 083). The jitter amount matters. At 14% the seams were wide checker bands that looked like smoke (084), and at 6% they're a one- or two-pixel dither.

![Bands](../img/fig_far_bands.png)

*`code/figs.py far`, evening. Left: no depth bands, a dark heavy picture in 32 colours. Middle: the band map, where the lightest grey is the farthest band (the sky is band 0 and shows darkest). Right: with bands, band collapse and the budget, 64 colours. The near valley keeps its full range, and the far peaks go to two lifted violet values.*

## 3. Band collapse

Aerial perspective removes steps, not just contrast. So in band 2 each material keeps only its two family tones plus its darkest accent, and in band 3 only lit and shade:


for b_ in (2, 3):
    mb = (cv.band == b_) & (cv.mat > 0) & (cv.mat != MAT_ID["sky"])
    for m_ in np.unique(cv.mat[mb]):
        n_ = MATERIALS[[k for k, v in MAT_ID.items() if v == m_][0]]["steps"]; ns_ = n_ // 2
        sel = mb & (cv.mat == m_); st_ = cv.step[sel]
        lo_keep = 0 if b_ == 2 else ns_ - 1
        cv.step[sel] = np.where(st_ >= ns_, np.minimum(st_, ns_ + 1), np.maximum(np.minimum(st_, ns_ - 1), lo_keep))



This happens on the index canvas, so it's independent of the hour.

## 4. Cavity tone draws the mountain

At a few km, n·l alone gives mountains as soft blobs. What draws their str

# How to pixel-art snow, by construction

*Snowfields, gullies and ledges, capped boulders, snowy forest, falling snow: a method you can write as a program.*

Snow is the easiest thing in a landscape to get wrong in pixels, because it seems to have no colour and no texture of its own. The obvious move is to treat it as a material: paint the terrain, then shade it white. That gives you a mesh wearing a white texture. It has no form, and it ignores where snow actually goes.

In Mark Ferrari's winter scenes and Kazuo Oga's backgrounds, snow is a set of **objects**. It sits in loaves on boulders, in slabs on boughs, in tongues down gullies and in sheets across open ground. Each has a silhouette and a few flat values, and each is placed by gravity and wind. This post turns that observation into a grammar, and proves it with a program (`snowpaint.py`, `scenes.py`, `sheets.py`) that paints every image below from a scene spec.

Everything here is 640×360 or smaller, with 64 colours or fewer per frame (enforced), shown upscaled with nearest neighbour.

---

## 1. What the references teach

I studied the three Ferrari pieces supplied and five more of his colour-cycling scenes. I rendered those from the original palette-and-pixel data, so these crops are at **native resolution**: Winter Forest, Ice Wind, Mountain Storm, Mountain Fortress. I also looked at Kazuo Oga's approach (as described in interviews: a small palette, extract the essence of the scene and push it) and at photographs of snow on boulders, streams and couloirs.

### 1.1 Caps are loaves wider than their rock

![Ferrari boulders, native x4](refs/zoom_winter_boulders_native.png)

- The cap's **top outline is a flat-topped, rounded loaf**. It ignores the rock's own bumps and peaks, because snow bridges dips and rounds off at its edges.
- **The cap is wider than the rock** at its lower rim. It bulges past the silhouette and curls under.
- Three bands, top to bottom: a **light top plane** (it faces the sky), a **cooler front roll**, and a **one-pixel dark under-rim**. Right under the rim, a **hard dark shadow** falls on the rock.
- **Where the snow stops on the rock is a level line, not an offset from the rock's outline.** Seen from a low eye it is nearly horizontal, with a slight forward sag. This one observation fixed my caps (see §5).
- Under forest cover, caps are **mid lavender, not white**. The brightest snow in the picture is the open path and the far opening.
- Boulders come in **overlapping clusters**, painted back to front. Each rock keeps its own cap, and a front cap's lit top edge is set against the dark under-rim of the cap behind.

### 1.2 Boughs carry slabs, and the tips shed

![Ferrari branches](refs/zoom_branches_left.png)

A snow slab rides the top of each bough and stops short of the tip, where the bough droops too steeply to hold it. The lower edge drips in fingers, and dark needles show underneath. **Bough snow is the same cap rule on a thin support.**

# Washington rock, from photos to pixels

A student notebook. The subject: the rock of the five voxsim places (Enchantments granite,
Skykomish granite and gneiss, San Juan greenstone/chert/sandstone shores, Olympic coast mudstone and
sandstone stacks, Yakima Canyon basalt). The two halves: how the rock works (why it breaks, weathers,
carries life and reads at each distance), and a painter that draws it at voxsim's four scales.

**Where this stands, plainly.** The observation half is solid and has numbers a simulation can use.
The drawing half is a working *method* (joints in metres → geometry → a two-family index canvas →
palettes per hour), with photo | mine pairs and full sweeps. Beside the photos, the granite wall and
talus and the CRB colonnade read as the real thing at 1×; the sea stack and the San Juan shore read
as rock but not yet as *those* rocks; region scale and the talus matrix are the weakest cells. None
of it is at Ferrari's 8× bar. Details per stage, and the open list at the end.

## Part 1. Observation: how Washington's rock works

Sources are listed at the end of each subsection; the naturalist studio's geology guides
(`~/work/naturalist/geo/02, 03, 05, 08, 09`) did most of the literature work and I lean on them,
checked against photos I looked at myself (`refs/`, `~/work/naturalist/geo/photos/`) and a few
papers I read for the numbers they didn't carry.

### 1.1 The one idea: joints decide everything you see

Every rock face in these five places is made of pieces of **joint planes**. A joint is a fracture

# The alpine and the meadows: frost, snow, and the ground above and between the trees

*Geo field guide 10. For the sim lanes and the painters. Written 2026-09-25 by the studio geologist. The plants desk covers the vegetation of these places; this is the ground under it.*

---

## 1. The alpine zone: what the ground does above treeline

Treeline in Washington is roughly **1,500 to 1,700 m in the Olympics, ~1,800 m on the west slope of the Cascades, and 2,100 to 2,400 m on the drier east side** (plants desk for detail). Above it, the ground is shaped by **frost, snow and gravity**, with glaciers on the highest peaks (guide 03).

### Processes

| process | what it does | rate / size | where |
|---|---|---|---|
| **frost shattering** | freeze-thaw wedging breaks bare rock into blocks and grit | cliff retreat 0.1-1 mm/yr (guide 05) | every bare rock face; peaks in spring and autumn |
| **frost creep and gelifluction (solifluction)** | soil heaves up perpendicular to the slope when it freezes, settles vertically when it thaws, and flows when saturated by snowmelt over still-frozen ground | surface movement **0.5 to 5 cm/yr** (Matsuoka 2001, global review) | wet alpine slopes 5-25 deg: **solifluction lobes and terraces** with steep turf-covered fronts 0.3-1.5 m high |
| **needle ice** | ice needles grow at the surface on clear frosty nights, lifting grains and seedlings | cm per night | bare soil in meadows and on trails, autumn and spring |
| **sorting (patterned ground)** | repeated freezing sorts stones from fines | stone circles 1-3 m across on flats, **stone stripes** on slopes | alpine flats and saddles, best east of the crest; mostly relict from colder times |
| **nivation** | snowpatches that linger into summer enhance frost weathering and meltwater wash around their edges | hollows 10-100 m | lee slopes below ridges (north and east aspects) |
| **snow avalanches** | scour paths through forest, carry rock and trees, build debris cones | paths 10s of m wide, km long | every steep slope over ~30 deg with snow; hydro owns the snowpack |
| **rock glaciers** | tongues or lobes of talus with ice inside, creeping downslope like slow lava | **~159 mapped in the eastern Cascades**, mostly tongue-shaped, talus-derived, at cirque headwalls in the colder north-east (Weidenaar/CWU; Geomorphology 2021) | bases of steep cirque walls east of the crest |
| **protalus ramparts** | ridges of boulders at the foot of snowpatches (guide 05) | a few m high | below talus |

### Landforms at a glance

- **Fellfield**: flat or gently sloping stony ground, 50-90% stones, cushion plants between; ridge crests and saddles.
- **Rock glacier**: a lobe of bouldery rubble 100 m to 1 km long with a **steep, fresh-looking front** (35-45 deg) of loose blocks, ridges and furrows on its surface curving like flow lines. Active ones have raw fronts with fines spilling out; relict ones are vegetated and slumped.
- **Solifluction lobes**: tongues and terraces of turf-covered soil 1-20 m

# output:
You're a student learning one subject deeply enough to both understand it and draw it beautifully in painterly pixel art: **snowy mountains at distance: snowfields, couloirs, cornices and glacier over rock, seen from miles away**.

voxsim has never had a convincing snowy mountain. The five real places see them constantly:

- Mount Stuart and Dragontail over the Enchantments;
- Rainier and Baker on clear horizons;
- the Olympics behind the coast;
- Glacier Peak from the Skykomish.

The work: how snow really lies on steep rock (it sheds from steep faces and collects in gullies, on ledges and in bowls), seasonal snowline and glaciers, cornices and wind scour, and how a snow peak reads in value and colour from 5, 20 and 80 km through haze. Then draw it, matching real photos of named peaks.

**Two halves, done together.**

- **Observe how it works.** Study the real thing from real sources: photos, video stills, field guides, scientific and historical literature. Find out what it is, why it looks the way it does, how it changes with season, weather and time, and how it behaves.
- **Translate it into pixels.** Find a method that draws it at every scale voxsim shows: close scene (~0.1 m/px), landscape, 30° iso and region (~1 m/px). Draw from what you observed.

The observation should be good enough that a simulation could use it, and the drawing good enough to sit beside the photos.

**The ambition, stated plainly:** match the reference: first its form (the real silhouettes, where the big lights and darks fall, what sits where), then its finer detail. Don't settle for "approximate it with reasonable effort". This is a safe space to fail many times on the way.

**Ways in that have worked here**, yours to use:

- **Break it down and solve bottom-up.** One crop, one form, one mass at a time, each right against the photo before combining.
- **Measure deeply.** Downsample the photo to your target resolution and treat it as an answer key. Extract its notan (2–3 value groups), value histogram, edge and orientation maps. Diff your work against it. Build any small tools that help you see. Numbers are instruments, not judges: the willow student's best-scoring version was its worst foliage.

# voxsim infrastructure: where work runs, where things live

For every lane. Read this once. Everything here is meant to be **easy and fast**. If any step takes more than about 10 minutes of fiddling, stop and say so in your NOTES and your report, and ask for help. Don't grind on infrastructure.

## Credentials

- `~/work/.env.local` holds Modal and AWS keys. Load them with `set -a; . ~/work/.env.local; set +a`.
- **Never print, echo, log or commit their values.**

## Where compute runs
| Work | Where |
|---|---|
| Reading, writing code, small checks, `cargo check` on one crate | Your worktree, locally. `.cargo/config.toml` caps builds at 2 jobs. |
| Release builds of the workspace, long sims or soaks, render sweeps, heavy numpy | **Modal** (below). The laptop crashed from memory pressure with 14 lanes building at once, so don't run more than one heavy local job at a time. |
| Self-contained work that only needs the repo | Cloud agents; the manager decides. |

## Modal

- **Workspace:** set `MODAL_ENVIRONMENT=main` after loading the env file (the local `~/.modal.toml` defaults to another workspace's environment). A probe container with 16 CPUs came up in about 6 s.
- **Image:** use `modal.Image.from_registry("rust:1-bookworm", add_python="3.12")`. It ships current Rust. `debian_slim().apt_install(...)` failed on a stale Debian security mirror, so don't use it for Rust.
- **Budget:** the whole project has about $30 of Modal credit for now.
  - Size containers to the job, and set `timeout=`.
  - Shut down what you start (no idle `keep_warm`).
  - Log each Modal run's resources and wall time in your NOTES, so spend can be tracked.
  - If a job will take more than ~1 CPU-hour, say so before you run it.
- **Volumes:** use them for joint disk-and-CPU work (a cargo target cache per lane, shared data). Name everything `voxsim-<lane>-<what>` (e.g. `voxsim-place-yakima-target`), so nothing sprawls untracked.
- **Tracking:** record every app, volume and S3 prefix you create in your lane's NOTES under "Remote resou

I found relevant information about SnowSlide, Bernhardt, Schulz, and the exponential equation for snow holding depth. Here are the key findings:

## SnowSlide Overview
SnowSlide (Bernhardt and Schulz, 2010) is a model using a simple parameterization for gravitational snow transport, where avalanches are simulated when a slope threshold and a snow holding capacity are exceeded.

## Snow Holding Depth and Exponential Equation
The maximum snow-holding depth is deep for flat areas, decreases exponentially with increasing slope angle, and is calculated by an exponential regression function (Bernhardt and Schulz, 2010).

An exponential relation between S and SWEmax is applied as proposed by Bernhardt and Schulz (2010), where SWEmax = SS1·exp(SS2·S), where S is the slope angle.

## Practical Examples
The default formulation of the snow-holding depth proposed by Bernhardt and Schulz (2010) leads to a maximal snow thickness (taken perpendicular to the slope) of 3.08 m, 1.11 m, 0.45 m and 0.15 m for slopes of 30°, 45°, 60° and 75°, respectively.

The model was published in Geophysical Research Letters (2010) and has become widely used for simulating snow redistribution on steep mountain terrain.

I've performed the web search and found relevant research on snow cover in steep alpine rock faces. Here are the key findings:

## Snow Cover on Steep Alpine Slopes

Research examined snow profiles taken in 50–65° slopes at elevations between 2900 and 3600 m asl on north- and south-facing slopes in the Swiss Alps, which directly addresses your angle range of interest.

## Snow Retention Characteristics

Measurements showed no decrease of snow depth at slope angles up to 70°, indicating that snow can be retained even on very steep angles. Considerable amounts of snow can accumulate in steep, rough rock walls, with thermal insulation of the ground starting with snow depths exceeding 0.2 m in rock faces.

## Slope Aspect Effects

Snow pits in frozen rock walls revealed that steep slopes have distinctive snowpack characteristics with marked contrasts in snow characteristics between north- and south-facing aspects. Under intense solar radiation, basal ice layers and multiple hard melt-freeze crusts formed on south-facing slopes, while on shady north-facing slopes, thick basal melt-freeze crusts formed when snow persisted during stable weather periods.

## Snow Distribution Variability

The high spatial and temporal variability of snow deposits in steep slopes results from the interaction of topoclimatic factors such as slope angle, sun exposure, and wind transport, creating a highly variable and local thermal effect.

What is the snow holding depth formula (with constants) as a function of slope, and any other parameters (min slope, routing)? Quote the equations.

# result:
Based on the provided web page content, I cannot provide the specific snow holding depth formula with constants and equations. 

The page mentions that **"SND_max_exponential()"** is a function that "compute the maximal height of snow each pixel can store based on the slope" with "parameters estimated from 'Bernhardt & Schulz 2007'," but the actual mathematical formula is not included in this documentation.

To find the explicit equations, you would need to:

1. Consult the referenced paper: Bernhardt & Schulz (2007)
2. Review the actual source code in the `functions.py` file of the Snowslide repository
3. Check the tutorial notebooks linked in the repository

The web page focuses on package structure and usage rather than the underlying mathematical formulation.

I found relevant information about Blue Glacier's equilibrium line altitude and mass balance. Here are the key findings:

## Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) Data

Blue Glacier's equilibrium line altitude (ELA) has varied considerably over time, ranging from around 1505 meters in 1974 to 2030 meters in 1981. For example, the present firn limit on Blue Glacier is centered on an altitude of 1,725 m.

## Mass Balance Information

The mass of Blue Glacier has changed less than 7 m (water equivalent) during the 56-year period from 1939 to 1995, which is minor compared with other glaciers in the region and elsewhere in the world.

Glacier-average annual mass balances, beginning in 1956, have been calculated either from stake measurements and probing of late-season snow, or from a regression analysis using late-season measurements of the equilibrium line altitude.

## Ablation Gradient

The net budget gradient of the Blue Glacier ablation zone (lower glacier) is 10 mm·m⁻¹, a figure derived from 1959 and 1960 when the glacier was closest to mass equilibrium.

The search results contain detailed time series data and historical records of Blue Glacier's mass balance measurements spanning from 1956 onwards.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about visibility at Mount Rainier National Park:

Monitoring data collected from 1988 to 2013 showed steadily improving trends in visibility at the park on the clearest and haziest days. Additionally, based on 2008 to 2012 data, current average visibility at Mount Rainier National Park was about 42 percent hazier than natural conditions.

The search results provide information about visibility trends and factors affecting visibility, but they do not contain specific data on the standard visual range in kilometers for the clearest versus haziest days at Mount Rainier National Park. To get those specific measurements, you may want to consult the National Park Service's official air quality monitoring data or contact the park directly.

Based on the search results, here's what I found regarding cornice formation, wind speed, overhang growth, and the research by Vogel and Eckerstorfer:

## Wind Speed Conditions for Cornice Formation

Previous field observations have consistently shown that the optimal wind speed range for cornice formation lies between one and two times the threshold wind speed (Eckerstorfer et al., 2013b; Vogel et al., 2012). More specifically, cornice growth is maximized when the wind speed exceeds the threshold value by 40% (Yu et al., 2022).

## Cornice Characteristics and Formation

Snow cornices are leeward-growing masses of snow overhanging and extending horizontally beyond the edge, usually appearing on the ridgeline of steep mountains. Cornices range in size from small wind lips of soft snow to large overhangs of hard snow that are 30 feet (10 meters) or taller.

## Cornice Dimensions from Studies

A wedge-shaped cornice horizontally hanging at the edge had a length of 0.145 m, which is the maximum cornice length observed in previous experiments.

## Growth Stages

The growth of a snow cornice can be divided into several stages, with the initial stage involving a thin slab formation at the mountain edge mainly by adhesion of wind-transported snow particles.

"""cam.py -- perspective camera over a real DEM, with earth curvature and refraction.

At 80 km the earth drops d^2/(2 R_eff) = 440 m below the tangent plane (R_eff = R/(1-k), k = 0.13
standard refraction), so a far peak sits visibly lower and its foothills sink behind the horizon.
We bend the terrain instead of the ray: every sample height is reduced by t_h^2/(2 R_eff), where
t_h is the horizontal distance from the camera.

"""fit.py -- fit a photo's camera (heading, pitch, fov, roll) given its GPS position.

The camera position is fixed by EXIF GPS, so every candidate view is a re-sampling of ONE panorama

Score: the photo's edge strength (Lab gradient, distance-smoothed) sampled along the render's

## 2026-09-26, day 1

**Reading.** observation TUTORIAL (three-panel sheet, ramp coordinate with a jump, clustered dither),
willow/ground/aerial tutorials, aerial how-to 4 (far view: bands, collapse, cavity tone) and 5
(mountain ground: snow drawn in its shadows; far snow was salt-and-pepper, the weakest cell), the
snow POST (Ferrari: "on mountains the rock defines the snow"; few big shapes; haze must not kill the
subject's rock/snow contrast), rock LESSONS (Dragontail camera fit, IoU 0.94; "value statement taken
from the photo"), naturalist geo 03 and 10.

What the studio already knows that I must not relearn:

- far snow as thresholded noise = salt-and-pepper (aerial). Blur before threshold; far snow needs its own simplification.
- snow is drawn by its shadows; lit snow flat, 1-2 values; shaded snow L* ~76 vs shaded rock ~51 (Sawtooth).
- haze: black point rises, range collapses, b* goes blue (Blue Ridge numbers).
- mountains: build from real profiles, not noise. Here I can do better: real DEMs.

**Data on disk** (~/work/voxsim-data): USGS 1/3" DEM tiles covering all four peaks and Seattle;
ESA WorldCover 2021 (class 70 snow/ice = glacier mask, 10 trees, 60 bare). `src/dem.py` reprojects
any box onto UTM 10N. Quicklook: `img/quicklook_dem_ice.png` (Rainier, Stuart, Olympus, Glacier Peak).

**References.** 20 queries via imgfetch (`refs/`). Commons metadata with camera GPS for the key ones
(`refs/commons_meta.json`). Answer keys chosen:

- Rainier 96 km: "Mount Rainier from Seattle (1)", 2009-08-01 20:52, from Elliott Bay (hazy August evening).
- Rainier 16 km, September minimum: "Rainier20200906", 2020-09-06 19:37, west side, alpenglow.
- Rainier 13 km, late September: "Mount Rainier and Sunrise", from Sunrise (Emmons Glacier, Little Tahoma).
- Rainier 20 km, early July: "from the Silver Queen Peak".
- Stuart 3-6 km: "Mount Stuart 7814p" (July 2008), "sun & fog from near Longs Pass" (Oct 2024).
- Dragontail/Colchuck 2 km, September: "Dragontail Peak, Colchuck Glacier, and Colchuck Peak" (2018-09-03).
- Olympus 26 km: Hurricane Ridge photos (camera 47.9696 -123.4991).
- Olympics 80-100 km: "from Fremont, Seattle" (Jan 2015), "14th Ave E" (Dec 2014).
- Glacier Peak 12-50 km: 7118/7137b (Aug 2003), 8782s (Oct 2013), from Sloan Peak.

**Camera fit.** `src/cam.py` casts rays over the DEM with earth curvature + refraction
(R_eff = R/(1-0.13); at 96 km the terrain drops 630 m). `src/fit.py`: because GPS fixes the camera
position, render one panorama from there and fit heading/pitch/fov/roll by warping it. Score =
photo Lab-edge strength along the render's silhouette edges (colour sky masks failed in the haze:
`stages/t_sk_all.png`, the sky gradient breaks a linear sky model). First fit, Rainier from Elliott
Bay: az 150.63, pitch 1.155, hfov 7.94, roll -0.05. The silhouette lands on the photo's summit,
left shoulder and long right ridge (`stages/fit_sea_rainier.png`). The near shore is too low in the
render: trees (~40 m) are not in a bare-earth DEM.

# The studio library: model systems

The elk and deer student succeeded largely because it didn't start from raw photos. It started from finished analysis:

- Muybridge's frame-by-frame plates;
- the naturalist's "four things that make a 6-pixel elk read".

Natural scientists used to be trained to draw: a geologist could draw a flake, an outcrop or a fold with economy and truth. Naturalist painting guides were built on the same scientific understanding. This library collects those traditions so studies can start where the experts finished, instead of doing a geology PhD from photographs.

**How to use it:**

- Before drawing, find your subject's model system here (or online, below) and read it closely.
- Then build on it, the way the elk student built on Muybridge.
- Open the PDFs and look at the plates; the drawings are the point.

Refetch anything missing with `./fetch.sh` (resumable). Files are also mirrored in S3 under `voxsim/shared/library/`.

§ 18. I have thought it worth while, for the sake
of these lessons, and the other interests connected
with them, to lead the reader thus far into the
examination of the principal precipices among the
Alps, although, so far as our immediate purposes are
concerned, the inquiry cannot be very fruitful or
helpful to us. For rocks of this kind, being found
only in the midst of the higher snow fields, are not
only out of the general track of the landscape painter,
but are for the most part quite beyond his power —
even beyond Turner's. The waves of snow, when it
becomes a principal element in mountain form, are at
once so subtle in tone, and so complicated in curve
and fold, that no skill will express them, so as to
keep the whole luminous mass in anything like a
true relation to the rock darkness. For the distant
rocks of the upper peaks are themselves, when in
light, paler than white paper, and their true size
and relation to near objects cannot be exhibited
unless they are painted in the palest tones. Yet, as
compared with their snow, they are so dark that a
daguerreotype taken for the proper number of
seconds to draw the snow shadows rightly, will
always represent the rocks as coal-black. In order,
therefore, to paint a snowy mountain properly, we
should need a light as much brighter than white
paper as white paper is brighter than charcoal. So
that although it is possible, with deep blue sky, and
purple rocks, and blue shadows, to obtain a very
interesting resemblance of snow effect, and a true
one up to a certain point (as in the best examples
of the body-colour drawings sold so extensively in
Switzerland), it is not possible to obtain any of those
refinements of form and gradation which a great
artist's eye
Turner
felt that,work
among

hills,requires.
no serious

couldthese
be
done; and although in one or two of his vignettes
(already referred to in the first volume) he showed
his knowledge of them, his practice, in larger
works, was always to treat the snowy mountains
merely as a far-away white cloud, concentrating the

the desolate shelves or shoulders which everywhere
surround the central crests. The soft banks which
terminate these shelves, traversed by no falling fragments, clothe themselves with richest wood; while
the masses of snow heaped upon the ledge above
them, in a climate neither so warm as to thaw them
quickly in the spring, nor so cold as to protect them
from all the power of the summer sun, either form
themselves into glaciers, or remain in slowly wasting
fields even to the close of the year — in either case
supplying constant, abundant, and regular streams

Pipeline (each stage is a function you can call or replace):

  1. coverage   supersampled G-buffer -> per-pixel snow fraction; snow decided by fraction, then
                cleaned so snow reads as shapes, never salt-and-pepper (aerial student's failure)
  2. material   sky / snow / ice (bare glacier) / rock / scree / meadow / forest
  3. family     lit or shade (sun n.l and cast shadow); never dithered across (observation student)
  4. step       a designed form coordinate inside each family: plateau-lit snow, core + sky-lit shade,
                gullies a step down, ribs and sun-facing crests a step up (aerial cavity tone)
  5. band       distance band with dithered seams; far bands collapse to fewer steps
  6. palette    colour = physical light on the material at that step's representative n.l, then
                the band's haze (Koschmieder: tau = exp(-d / D_h)).  The palette IS the light: one

**Library (coordinator's note, mid-morning).** Read Imhof, *Cartographic Relief Presentation*
(scanned PDF, no text layer; pdf page = book page + 18): ch. 9 §8 aerial perspective (p172-173:
"dark tones grow lighter and light tones are subdued... contrast progressively reduced";
cartographers *sharpen* contrast toward high ground, subdue lowland), §18-19 (p190-193: shadow
colour grey-blue / blue-violet; **shading on snow must keep the same strength as on the rest of the
terrain** or snow ridges read as plateaus; shadows on snow pure blue), ch. 11 §3-5 (p243-248:
Figure 170 "normal group of forms": gullies and intervening ribs, parallel, acute-angled
"poplar-tree" branching, steepest near the top, triangular frontal facets; every gully ends in a
debris cone at 30-40 deg, fine at the top, blocks at the toe). Ruskin, *Modern Painters IV*
(text layer): the value problem ("the distant rocks of the upper peaks are themselves, when in
light, paler than white paper... yet as compared with their snow, so dark"), and rock showing "in
black points like arrow-heads through the snow, where their ridges are left projecting by the
avalanche channels." Both go straight into the method: gullies hold snow, ribs are arrowheads.

**Camera fits, round 2.** Control-point init (put the summit on its photo pixel, scan fov) fixed
local optima. rainier_ne_july (Silver Queen, 21 km): excellent, foreground ridges line up
(`stages/fit_rainier_ne_july.png`). sea_rainier_clear (Seattle tower, 94 km): good. rainier_w_sept
(Rainier20200906): FAILED. The GPS point sits in a hollow; snapping to the highest point within
300 m and 1.5 km, and a 9x9 km position search (`possearch.py`) all gave weak, ambiguous scores
(-0.52..-0.54). The tag is probably not where the photo was taken. Parked; used as a September
reference by eye only.

**Measurements** (`src/boxes.py`, `src/measure.py`, `cache/boxes_out.json`, `cache/measure.json`).

- Rainier 21 km, clear noon July: lit snow L*91, sky at the peak 64, sky high 47 (b* -29),
  rock wall 36-54 (b* -11: haze is already blue), forest at 5 km 21 (b* -18).
- Rainier 94 km, clear May evening: lit snow 65 vs sky 58 (+7.5); foothill forest band 45 (-12 vs sky).
- Rainier 96 km, August evening (sun just set at the camera, still on the summit): snow 73,
  rock 69, sky 73.6. Snow = sky. This is not haze, it is weak alpenglow: at dusk the lit snow sinks
  to the sky's value.
- Koschmieder fits in luminance: forest at ~60-70 km gives tau ~0.45, i.e. D_h ~ 80 km on the
  clear day. But the forest at 5-8 km under the Silver Queen camera (at 2129 m) is nearly
  un-hazed (L*14.6 vs intrinsic ~12). Uniform haze cannot fit both. **Aerosol density falls
  with height (scale ~1.5-2 km)**: the painter now uses a sea-level-equivalent haze path
  `eff_dist(dist, cam_z, target_z, Ha)`. This one change put the forest at the photo's value
  (22.6 -> 14.7) and is the physical reason summits stand clear above hazy foothills.

**Painter v1-v9** (`src/paint.py`, `src/render.py`, `stages/r_rainier_ne_july_summer_v*.png`).

- v1: silhouette right from the DEM; everything else grey and hazy, snow dashes, ice blue patches.
- `dbg_matL.py`: photo L* under each painted material vs mine. The single best instrument so far:
  forest 25 vs 14.5, meadow 47 vs 28, scree 64 vs 55. Albedos recalibrated.
- v7: seam dither between steps (clustered thresholds). Haze bands dithered at 6% of distance
  made a smoky checker field across the valley (the aerial student's trap, again).
- v8: per-column "ridge layer" bands: vertical streaks. v9: quantize the haze path, then a 5x5
  majority filter: clean flat haze shapes; the near ridge now separates dark against the bluer
  valley, as in the photo.
- Snow colour: blue-white against the photo's warm white; cause was a blue-tinted snow albedo and
  too much sky in the lit ramp. Fixed.

## Round 2: designed light, and matching the photo itself

The coordinator's read (and David's): round 1 approximated the photos; the goal is to *match* them,
form first (Dragontail's real silhouette, where its flank turns dark, where the gullies run), then
detail. This round is about that, and about "masses first, then marks inside the mass".

### 2a. Masses first, then marks (`paint.shade_designed`, `paint.mass_marks`)

- **Mass vs mark.** An object is a *mass* if it covers > 3 % of the frame **and** is > 12 m in
  the world (walls, stacks, platforms); everything else (talus blocks, boulders) is a *mark* and
  keeps per-facet light. My first version also treated a near foreground block as a mass and it
  swallowed the talus.
- **Mass light from the landform, not the facets.** The mass's lit/shadow split comes from the
  landform-scale normal (the world position blurred over ~6 % of the frame, then its normal) and the
  landform-scale share of cast shadow, then `design_masses` (no island < 2.5 % of frame). Inside a
  lit mass every facet stays in the lit family; inside a shadow mass every facet stays in the shadow
  family, shaped by **directional skylight** (up tilted toward a bright-sky direction).
- **Marks inside the lit mass are tall runs, not specks.** A facet turned away from the sun becomes
  a shadow-family mark only if its connected run is ≥ 6 px tall and ≥ 2.2× taller than wide (the
  dark rib/gully strokes of a sunlit wall); the hackly entablature uses any shape. Small pockets
  (< 10 px) stay lit. Crack lines along joint steps are off by default (they drew closed loops
  round every cell — "crazy paving" — at 8×).
- **A director override** (`mass_design={"basalt": "shadow", "basalt_face": "lit"}`) for when the
  photo says which mass is dark.
- **Column bow and taper** (`column_surface(bow=, taper=)`): each column bends as one curve of its
  own sign and phase and narrows upward.

Stage pairs: `stages/iter/granite_wall_d1–d10.png`, `stages/iter/basalt_colonnade_d1–d5.png`.
The granite wall now has one lit face and one dark flank with rib strokes in the light
(`granite_wall_d10`), but it is still my invented mountain, not Dragontail. The basalt got bowed
columns and a dark overhanging entablature (`basalt_colonnade_d5`), but the columns still read as
clean pale planks, not the photo's rounded, streaked pillars — **not there**.

I've completed the web search for your query about Paradise Mount Rainier snow depth, April averages, peak snowpack, and SNOTEL data at 1560 m elevation.

Here are the key findings:

**Paradise/Mount Rainier SNOTEL Data:**

- Snowpack depth, SWE, snowfall, and air temperature come from the NRCS SNOTEL station 679
- Mount Rainier is measured daily by SNOTEL station #679, located at Mt. Rainier, Washington at an elevation of 5,150 ft (approximately 1,570 m, close to your specified 1560 m)
- This automated sensor is operated by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and has been recording continuous snowpack data since 1979

**Historical Peak Snowpack:**

- The maximum snowpack was 367 inches (30.6 ft; 9.3 m) on March 9–10, 1956

**April Snow Conditions (Example):**

- The search results provide some April snowpack references but don't explicitly state a specific April average

**Notable Context:**

- The National Park Service says that "Paradise is one of the snowiest places on Earth where snowfall is measured regularly" with 1,122 inches (93.5 ft; 28.5 m) of snow during the winter of 1971–1972, setting a world record at the time

For specific April average peak snowpack data at the 1560 m elevation, you may want to consult the NRCS SNOTEL database directly or contact Mount Rainier National Park for detailed historical averages.

I found relevant information about North Cascades glacier equilibrium line altitudes. Here are the key results:

South Cascade Glacier in the North Cascades has a mean ELA of 1,900 m, which is close to the 2,000 m threshold you mentioned.

The North Cascade Glacier Climate Project monitors the mass balance of Columbia, Daniels, Easton, Foss, Ice Worm, Lower Curtis, Lynch, Rainbow, Sholes, and Yawning Glacier, North Cascades, WA (M. Pelto). This research is conducted by Mauri Pelto, who appears to be the primary researcher referenced in your search query.

Additionally, Vesper Glacier in the North Cascade Range has an approximate equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) of 1,475 m, which is notably below the regional ELA value due to its specific characteristics as an avalanche-nourished glacier.

The search results show that North Cascades glaciers have varying ELAs depending on their specific location, aspect, and local conditions, with values ranging from around 1,475 m to 1,900 m.

Based on the search results, I found information about the Norwegian α-β model developed by Lied and Bakkehøi for snow avalanche runout prediction.

The alpha-beta model (Lied and Bakkehoi, 1980) is based on the idea that the runout angle alpha is proportional to the beta angle, which is a measure of the mean slope angle. The statistical α/β model predicts the extreme run-out distance for a snow avalanche solely as a function of topography.

Regarding the typical alpha angle values, Lied and Bakkehøi (1980) surveyed major avalanches in Norway and found that the angle from the starting point to the run–out point is on average 33°, although values as low as 18° and as high as 49° have been found.

The model also shows that in the equation presented by Lied and Bakkehøi (1980) R = 0.95 and SD = 2.3°. The alpha–beta regression runout model (Bakkehoi et al., 1983, Lied and Bakkehoi, 1980, Lied et al., 1989), initially applied in Norway by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) and applied in other parts of the world, is well suited to topographic mapping.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about transverse crevasse spacing and depth:

## Crevasse Spacing

Transverse crevasse spacings on temperate glaciers are variable, ranging from 30 m to 96 m. More specifically, initial transverse crevasses can have spacings ranging from 57 to 66 m for cold ice.

There's also a quantitative relationship between spacing and depth: crevasse spacings average 2.8 times the mean crevasse depth, which is about 26 meters.

## Crevasse Depth

Regarding depth, most dry crevasses do not exceed a depth of 30 m. However, the depth can range from a few metres to 50 metres and more in alpine glaciers, and in very cold ice at high latitudes, crevasse depth can exceed 30 m, with some observed to be 45 m.

Crevasse depth is controlled by the compressive stresses within the ice, with ice overburden pressure increasing with depth and forcing the crack shut.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about Mount Rainier's glacier area and changes:

## Glacier Area in 2015

Mount Rainier National Park contains 29 named glacial features which cover an area of 30.4 square miles (78.8 km²) as of 2015 according to Beason's research.

## Total Area Change (1896-2015)

Between 1896 and 2015, Mount Rainier as a whole has had an overall decrease in glacial area of 20.1 square miles (52.1 km²), or an annual decrease of 0.17 square miles per year (0.44 km²/year) according to Beason (2017) and George and Beason (2017).

## Historical Context

The research indicates that the glacial area has been reduced from around 130 km² to around 75, with most of the loss occurring between 1895 and 1970, a period when there was very little human-caused global warming.

The Beason (2017) study referenced is the National Park Service's comprehensive glacier inventory documenting these changes at Mount Rainier over more than a century.

# Snow peaks at distance: from real terrain to pixels

A student notebook. Subject: snowy mountains seen from miles away (Rainier, Stuart, Glacier Peak,
Olympus, the Dragontail ridge): how snow really lies on steep rock, how seasons and glaciers move it,
and how a snow peak reads through 5, 20 and 80 km of air. Then a painter that draws it, checked
against photographs of named peaks with fitted cameras.

**Where this stands, plainly.** The *form* half works: every picture here is cast from the real
USGS terrain, from the photographer's real position (camera fitted to the photo's skyline), so the
silhouettes, the big light and dark masses and where the snow sits are the real mountain's, not an
invented one. Glacier Peak (12 km, late August) and Rainier from the northeast (21 km, July) read as
those mountains beside their photos. The snow model is a stack of published processes with
numbers, portable to a simulation. The *surface* half is not at the Ferrari bar: lit snow is a
little too flat and cold, near forest reads as camouflage blobs, rock texture is a value pattern
without the structural strokes Imhof and Ruskin draw, and the vocabulary close-ups (cornice,
crevasses) are the thinnest part. Details per stage, and the open list at the end.

**The studio shoulders I stand on.**

- *Imhof, Cartographic Relief Presentation* (library/terrain): aerial perspective as contrast
  loss that must stay strongest on the high ground (ch. 9 §8); shading on snow keeps the same
  strength as on rock, or snow ridges read as plateaus (§18-19); the "normal group of forms" of a
  rock wall: parallel gullies and ribs, poplar-tree branching, debris cones at 30-40 deg (ch. 11).
- *Ruskin, Modern Painters IV* (library/rock): the value problem of snow mountains (lit distant rock
  is paler than white paper yet black against its snow), and rock ribs showing "in black points like
  arrow-heads through the snow" where avalanche channels leave them projecting.
- Studio students: the observation student's three-panel sheet and ramp coordinate with a jump at
  the terminator; the aerial student's band collapse, cavity tone and "far snow is salt-and-pepper,
  blur before you threshold"; the ground student's quantile keying of each family; the rock
  student's camera fit to a photo skyline and "value economy taken from the photo"; the snow
  student's "on mountains the rock defines the snow".
- *Tyndall* and *Lobeck* I read for glacier structure and cirque form; they inform part 1 but no
  code depends on them directly.

## Part 1. Observation: how snow lies on a real mountain

### 1.1 The one idea: gravity and sun decide, wind and glaciers edit

Snow falls nearly evenly (more with height); then it moves. From far away, the pattern you see is
the *residue* of three movements, in order of how much they matter for a picture:

1. **Gravity sheds snow from steep ground** and packs it into gullies, onto ledges and into bowls
   and slope-foot cones. This is why a summer peak is dark rock laced with white *lines* (couloirs)
   and *bands* (ledges), not a white cap with a clean snowline.
2. **The sun melts unevenly**: south and west faces lose snow weeks before north faces; a gully in
   its own shadow keeps snow long after the rib beside it is bare.
3. **Wind** scours crests and exposed windward slopes and loads lee slopes, building cornices on
   lee crests. On Rainier it is the difference between a bare Liberty Cap edge and loaded bowls.
4. **Glaciers** are where snow survives from year to year; their upper parts stay white (firn) all
   summer, their lower parts turn grey bare ice by August, cut by crevasses where the ice steepens.

### 1.2 Numbers a simulation can use

| process | rule | numbers | source |
|---|---|---|---|
| accumulation with height | HS(z) = g (z - z0), capped | g ~ 0.45 m depth per 100 m above z0 ~ 300 m; Paradise (1,650 m) peak depth typically 4-6 m, record 9.3 m (1956); cap 9-14 m | NPS/NRCS SNOTEL 679 (Paradise); my fit |
| gravity: snow holding depth | SHD(slope) = c exp(-a slope); excess slides to lower neighbours (multiple flow direction), top-down | Bernhardt & Schulz 2010 default: 3.08 / 1.11 / 0.45 / 0.15 m at 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 deg. OGGM Snowslide default c = 145 m, a = 0.14 /deg: 2.2 / 0.27 / 0.03 m. **Summer photos of Rainier's walls (bare above ~45 deg) match the OGGM set**, the B&S set left the Willis Wall white | Bernhardt & Schulz 2010 GRL; OGGM/Snowslide `snd_max_exponential`; my photo test |
| steep rough rock still holds some | ledges and cracks keep a patchy cover on 50-70 deg rock | snow depth did not fall with angle up to 70 deg in snow pits on 50-65 deg Alpine walls; insulation starts above 0.2 m | Haberkorn et al. 2015/2017 (Gemsstock) |
| couloirs hold more than open slopes | side walls support a wedge of snow | holding depth x (1 + k gully), k ~ 3, gully = concavity at 25 m radius / 4 m | my fit to Stuart (photo: every white line is a gully) |
| avalanche deposits | cones at gully mouths, 5-15 m deep, last into July at 1,500 m | alpha angle (start to runout) ~ 33 deg mean, 18-49 deg | Lied & Bakkehoi 1980 |
| wind exposure | Winstral Sx: max upwind slope angle within 300 m; HS x clip(1 + 0.035 Sx, 0.15, 2.5) | crests (Sx < 0) scoured, lees (Sx > 0) loaded | Winstral, Elder & Davis 2002 |
| cornices | lee crest, exposed approach, drop > 35 deg downwind, enough snow | grow fastest at 1-2 x the threshold wind speed for drift (~1.4x best) | Vogel et al. 2012; Eckerstorfer 2013; Yu 2022-23 |
| melt | melt(z) = A(z_sl) (1 + 0.9 (z_sl - z)/km) (0.5 + 0.5 (I/I_flat)^0.8) | half air temperature (aspect-blind), half sun (clear-sky insolation with cast shadows, May-Aug) | degree-day + radiation index models (Hock 1999 in spirit); my fit |
| season snowline (flat, undisturbed) | z_sl | late May ~1,250 m; mid-July ~1,700-1,900 m; September minimum ~2,100-2,200 m (Cascades); Olympics ~200 m lower | my calibration against the dated photos below |
| glacier firn line (ELA) | above: white firn all year; below: grey bare ice by August | Rainier: Nisqually ELA ~3,180 m, Emmons ~2,800 m (2002-08); South Cascade 1,900 m; Blue Glacier (Olympus) 1,505-2,030 m, mean firn limit ~1,725 m | Hekkers 2010 (PSU); Pelto/NCGCP; UW Blue Glacier record |
| glacier extents | the map, not a model | ESA WorldCover 2021 class 70 (snow & ice) at 10 m; Rainier 78.8 km2 (2015), down 52 km2 since 1896; Olympics 25.3 km2 (2015, half of 1900) | ESA WorldCover; Beason 2017; Fountain et al. 2022 |
| crevasses | transverse, where the ice steepens (extending flow) | spacing 30-96 m on temperate glaciers, ~2.8 x depth; depth mostly < 30 m | J. Glac. "Primary transverse crevasses"; Colgan et al. |
| steep ice | faces steeper than ~42 deg inside a mapped glacier are rock walls or hanging ice | (Willis Wall, Liberty Ridge) | my photo check |

### 1.3 Light and air (measured on the fitted photos)

With a fitted camera every photo pixel has a known distance and material, so the photos become
instruments (`src/measure.py`, `src/boxes.py`; raw numbers in `cache/measure.json`, `cache/boxes_out.json`):

| photo | distance | what | L* (b*) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rainier from Silver Queen, clear July noon | 21 km | lit snow / rock wall / forest at 5 km / sky at peak / sky high | 91 (+5) / 36-54 (-11) / 21 (-18) / 64 (-19) / 47 (-29) |
| Glacier Peak from the east, Aug 30 09:20 | 12 km | lit firn / bare ice / dacite rock / forest | 73-90 / 54-73 / 46 (-4) / 19.5 |
| Rainier from Seattle tower, clear May evening | 94 km | lit snow / shaded snow / sky at peak / foothills | 65 (+11) / 60 (+6) / 58 (-2) / 45 (-3) |
| Rainier from Elliott Bay, Aug 20:52 | 96 km | snow / rock / sky | 73 / 69 / 74 (snow = sky: weak alpenglow) |

What these say:

- **At 94 km on a clear day, lit snow is only +7 L\* over the sky** and shaded snow +2. The far
  peak is a pale shape a hair lighter than its sky, warmer (b\* +11 against -2): the snow keeps
  the sun's colour, the sky and the foothills go blue-grey. Rock at that distance is gone into the
  snow's value.
- **The foothills are the darkest thing on the horizon** (-12 L\* under the sky at 94 km) because
  they are lower, in thicker air, and forested. The peak above them is lighter than the sky.
- **Haze is not uniform.** Forest 5-8 km below the Silver Queen camera (2,129 m) is nearly
  un-hazed (L\* 14.6 against ~12 intrinsic), while forest at 60-70 km in the lowland photo fits a
  visual range of ~80 km. One Koschmieder distance can't fit both. Aerosol density falls with
  height (scale height ~1.5-2.5 km, the boundary layer), so the painter uses a sea-level-equivalent
  path: `deff = d * Ha (e^(-hc/Ha) - e^(-ht/Ha)) / (ht - hc)`. This single change put the forest at
  the photo's value (22.6 -> 14.7) and is *the* reason summits stand clear over hazy foothills.
- **At dusk the lit snow sinks to the sky's value** (96 km, sun just set at sea level): alpenglow
  is weak and warm, and the peak nearly vanishes. Imhof's rule that high ground keeps its contrast
  is a clear-air rule.
- Earth curvature with standard refraction (R_eff = R/(1-0.13)): the terrain drops d^2/(2R_eff),
  630 m at 96 km. Rainier from Seattle stands on a sunk horizon; foothills 60 km out lose their
  lower slopes behind nearer ridges. The caster bends the terrain for every ray.

### 1.4 How a snow peak changes through the year (from the dated photos)

- **Late May** (Stuart spring rows): continuous snow above ~1,300 m on shaded aspects, but ribs and
  steep faces already dark; the mountain reads as white with dark *arrowheads* (Ruskin).
- **July** (Rainier, Silver Queen): the snowline is up at ~1,900 m on open slopes; below it, snow
  survives only in gullies and avalanche cones, as white threads and wedges.
- **Late August / September minimum** (Glacier Peak; Stuart July 2008 in a low-snow year): seasonal
  snow gone from rock except couloirs and north-facing ledges; glaciers split at the firn line into
  white upper and grey lower; pumice and dacite (Glacier Peak) are pale tan, granite (Stuart) warm
  grey and lichen-dark.
- **First autumn snow** (Stuart, Oct 2024 photos): a thin veneer that sheds from steep rock at once
  and draws every ledge and bedding line; the `fresh` season option models it (not in the sheets).

## Part 2. Translation: the method

### 2.1 Real form first: fitted cameras on real terrain

`src/dem.py` (USGS 3DEP 1/3" and 1 m lidar, read remotely from the cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs;
ESA WorldCover for ice, trees, bare), `src/cam.py` (curved-earth ray caster, numba, two-level for
lidar), `src/fit.py` + `src/fitcam.py` (camera fit).

The camera position comes from the photo's GPS (Commons metadata, `refs/commons_meta.json`). One
panorama is cast from there; heading, pitch, fov and roll are then found by warping it, so the fit
costs image warps, not ray casts. Score: the photo's Lab edge strength along the render's
silhouettes (skyline + depth jumps); colour sky masks failed in haze (`stages/t_sk_all.png`).
Two fixes made it reliable: (1) **a control point**: put the summit on its photo pixel and scan fov,
then refine (local optima otherwise); (2) **snap** the camera to the highest ground within a few
hundred metres (photographers stand on high points; GPS tags sit in hollows).

| shot | distance | result |
|---|---|---|
| Rainier from Silver Queen Peak, July | 21 km | excellent; foreground ridges line up (`stages/fit_rainier_ne_july.png`) |
| Glacier Peak from the east, Aug 2003 | 12 km | excellent (`stages/fit_pair_sg.png`, bottom) |
| Mount Stuart from the south, July 2008 | 5.6 km | excellent (`stages/fit_pair_sg.png`, top) |
| Rainier from the Seattle tower | 94 km | good (`stages/fit_sea_rainier_clear.png`) |
| Rainier from Elliott Bay | 96 km | good (`stages/fit_sea_rainier.png`) |
| Rainier "20200906" (west side, September) | 16 km | **failed**: the GPS tag is not where the photo was taken; a 9 x 9 km position search found nothing convincing |
| Olympus from Hurricane Ridge (telephoto) | 25 km | **failed**: the fit locks onto the wrong ridge line; my summit pixel guess is probably not Olympus |

### 2.2 The snow model (`src/snowmodel.py`)

`prepare()` runs once per peak (fields, Sx, gravity routing, insolation over the melt season with
cast shadows); `apply(prep, season)` is cheap (melt, fresh snow, glacier surface state, cover).
Every rule is part 1's table. Calibration went through the photos, and each correction was forced
by a picture:

- **Holding depth.** The Bernhardt & Schulz defaults left Rainier's steep walls white in July.
  OGGM's steeper curve bared everything above ~45 deg, as the photo does (`stages/dbg_cover_crop.png`).
- **Couloirs.** With plain holding depth, Stuart kept almost no snow (1.4% of terrain vs the photo's
  white threads). Gully side-wall support (x4 holding depth in a 4 m-deep, 25 m-radius concavity)
  put the snow in the gullies and on the Stuart Glacier bench, where the photo has it
  (`stages/dbg_cover_stuart_s_july.png`).
- **Lidar pits.** The routing kept everything that reached a closed pit: one lidar pit held 14 km
  of snow. Pits now fill to 15 m and deposits are capped at 14 m (real avalanche cones: 5-15 m).
- **Glaciers keep their firn.** Routing shed snow from 30-deg glacier surfaces too, so all ice read
  as grey. On mapped glacier below 35 deg the winter snow is kept (the glacier *is* retained snow),
  and the firn line then falls near the ELA, white above, grey below.
- **Melt is half temperature.** Pure insolation melt kept deep avalanche cones in shaded valley
  bottoms through August (white patches in the Glacier Peak forest). Real low snow melts from warm
  air regardless of aspect. And forest canopy hides ground snow from far away.

Photo check: Rainier NE (July), model snow vs photo snow (L\* threshold) inside the terrain above
1,500 m: IoU 0.68-0.72 across z_sl 1,500-2,500 (`src/calib.py`), best ~1,900-2,100.

### 2.3 The painter (`src/paint.py`, `src/render.py`)

Everything is drawn into an index canvas (material, family, step, haze band); the palette is the
light (as in every good study here), so one canvas re-lights per hour and haze. Stages:

1. **Coverage at 3x supersampling, then a decision per pixel.** Snow cover is smoothed along the
   screen-space *fall line* (1.5 px line-integral) before the threshold, so snow patches stretch
   down the slope as tongues and ribs stretch as arrowheads, never as round blobs or noise.
   Then: majority clean; islands under 3 px absorbed unless the curvature says they are a gully
   (snow) or a rib (rock); one-pixel-thick dashes removed unless they are long ledges.
2. **Materials:** sky, snow, ice (bare glacier), debris-covered ice (below 1,850 m), rock (per-peak
   albedo: weathered granite, andesite, pale dacite), scree (bare + gentle), meadow, forest.
3. **Family from the sub-pixel shade fraction**, not from averaged n.l: a pixel is shade if more
   than half its supersamples face away or sit in cast shadow. Averaging normals first erased every
   rib narrower than a pixel.
4. **Step inside the family** blends an absolute light coordinate (n.l for lit, sky view for shade)
   with a **rank-keyed** one (quantile shares per material: rock lit 30/40/30%, snow lit
   8/22/70%): the ground student's keying and the rock student's value economy. It is what makes
   Stuart's face read at high noon, where true n.l is nearly flat. A **local relief** term
   (n.l minus its neighbourhood mean: Imhof's local adjustment of light) and the curvature steps
   (gullies down, sun-facing ribs up) put the structure in.
5. **Haze bands** from the altitude-weighted haze path, quantized finely (11 edges, 0.6-45 km) and
   3x3-majority cleaned. Two dead ends first: dithered seams made smoke (the aerial student's trap,
   again); coarse bands with big value jumps made blobs across the valley. Beyond 14 / 35 km of
   haze path, each family collapses to 2 / 1 steps.
6. **Colour** = albedo x (sun n.l + sky x sky-view + snow bounce into shade) at each step's
   representative n.l, then Koschmieder mixing to the air colour. Snow's lit ramp is compressed
   (it is a plateau in every photo), rock's is exaggerated. Sky: measured zenith/horizon.
7. **Marks:** transverse crevasses on glacier ice at 11-38 deg (45 m spacing, 6 m open, warped
   into arcs; drawn only when a crack fills a third of a pixel, so they fade into texture with
   distance), with a lit lip above each; cornice lips on lee crests (top step) with the curl's
   shadow under them.

### 2.4 Photo | mine (the honest pairs)

(Photo on the left, box-downsampled to the same pixels, as the answer key.)

**Glacier Peak from the east, 12 km, Aug 30** (`stages/r_gp_e_aug_sept_a6.png`). The best pair.
Silhouette, the summit horns, the white upper glaciers over grey lower ice, the pale dacite
aprons and the dark forested ridge running up the middle are where the photo has them. Wrong: my
sky is duller, the valley forest is darker and flatter than the photo's hazy teal, lit snow is
a step too cold, and the summit rock is too dark and too blocky.

**Rainier from Silver Queen Peak, 21 km, July noon** (`stages/r_rainier_ne_july_summer_v16.png`).
Silhouette exact; Little Tahoma, the Emmons/Winthrop firn, Steamboat Prow and the dark Willis-side
rock masses in place. Wrong: the photo's lower mountain is a warm mid-value band of rock and moraine
that mine renders as scattered grey; a few snow patches still sit in the upper forest; the snow
surface lacks the flow-parallel crevasse streaks of the photo.

**Mount Stuart from the south, 5.6 km, July 2008** (`stages/r_stuart_s_july_summer_g6_crop.png`).
Form right (lidar at 4 m); snow in the right couloirs, including the big central one. Wrong: the
photo's rock is warm gold-grey with sharp dark structural lines (Imhof's rock drawing); mine is a
grey value texture without direction. The gully snow is too wide and too bright at the bottom.

**Far pairs (94 and 96 km)**: the numbers in 1.3 are in the palette logic; the painted 80 km
sheet rows follow them (peak a little lighter than sky, foothills darkest). A painted pair against
the Seattle photo is on the open list.

### 2.5 Sheets

- `sheets/A_<peak>_distance_season_light.png`: rows 5 / 20 / 80 km x September minimum / late May;
  columns clear noon, clear evening, hazy afternoon (visual range 18 km), alpenglow. Peaks: Stuart
  (SSW, Longs Pass side), Rainier (NW, Seattle side), Olympus (NE, Hurricane Ridge side), and the
  Dragontail-Colchuck ridge as the local ridge (N, Colchuck Lake side). The standpoint is on the
  real bearing, on high ground from which the summit is visible and the foreground falls away.
- `sheets/B_vocabulary_scale_season.png`: gully fill, ledge bands, cornice, glacier edge on
  synthetic terrain at 1 and 0.25 m/px, through the same model and painter.

### 2.6 Parameters (the knobs a lane will touch)

`snowmodel.DEFAULT`: `g_acc, z_rs, hs_max` (accumulation), `k_wind, sx_dmax` (wind), `shd_c, shd_a`
(holding depth), `k_gully, gully_r, gully_depth` (couloirs), `pit_cap, hs_cap`, `k_melt, p_ins,
w_temp` (melt), `ice_max_slope`. `SEASONS[...]["z_sl"]` is the one seasonal knob.

`paint.DEFAULT`: `snow_thr, fall_len, min_island, ledge_min_len` (shape cleaning), `key_q, shares,
relief_k, subpix_k, lit_lo, lit_span, seam_w` (values), `bands_km, collapse_km` (air),
`debris_z, crevasses, crev_space, crev_open, crev_slope, cornices, canopy_hide`.
`paint.light_state(sun_el, sun_az, haze_km, warm, airlight, sky_zenith, sky_horizon)`;
`render.add_haze_path(G, cam_z, Ha)` (Ha = aerosol scale height).

For a lane porting this: the snow model is plain numpy + two numba loops and works on any
heightfield (voxsim's worldgen DEM included); the painter wants a G-buffer (normal, distance,
height, sun visibility, material fractions) at 2-3x supersampling.

## Open list (not there yet, and why)

1. **Rock surface.** Imhof's and Ruskin's rock is structural strokes (ribs, joints, gully walls)
   in a few values; mine is a value texture. Next: draw rib/gully lines from the curvature ridges as
   clean runs (`clean_profile`), dark on the shade side, lit lip on the sun side.
2. **Near forest reads as camo.** Forest and meadow blobs from WorldCover at 10 m. It needs the
   aerial student's canopy technique, or just one designed value per ridge layer.
3. **Snow warmth.** Lit snow in the photos is warm white (b\* +2..+11); mine is neutral to cold.
4. **Olympus** has no photo-matched pair (fit failed) and the Olympics' lower snowlines are only a
   global offset.
5. **Cornices and crevasses** are marks with measured spacing but untested against a photo pair.
6. **Close scale (0.1 m/px)** is not done here; the snow student's loaf/cap grammar
   (`pixelart-studies/snow/snowpaint.py`) is the tool for it.
7. **80 km painted pair** against the Seattle photos.

### Critic pass (fresh-eyes agent, end of session), folded in

- Terrain below the snow lacks ridge-plane structure: one blue-black slab at Glacier Peak, faceted
  camo at Rainier and Stuart 20 km. Highest-leverage next fix: a value per occlusion layer (lighter
  and bluer with distance), warm mid-values on sunlit slopes, pale buff for pumice/debris.
- Snow still has per-pixel confetti in places: false snow blobs in Rainier's upper forest band,
  speckled spring snow at Stuart. Fall-line smoothing is too weak at the transition band.
- Stuart sheet: a straight horizontal seam across the frame through the peak (5 and 20 km rows):
  suspect the edge of the 11 km snow sub-box / fine-vs-coarse shadow switch. Not yet chased.
- Rainier sheet 5 km: the standpoint search put the camera on the glacier itself (a sunk 5 km
  view is inside the massif); crevasse marks show there as isolated dots. The 20 and 80 km rows
  read best of all the sheets.
- 80 km hazy afternoon: the peak nearly disappears (consistent with the measured 96 km dusk photo,
  but a painter would keep one lit step on the snow).

- Vocabulary sheet (after padding the synthetic grids so the camera sits inside them, and lifting
  them to 2,450 m): **cornice and glacier rows read** (windward scour vs lee load, a lit crest lip;
  white firn tongue, moraine ridges, crevasse arcs where it steepens). **Gully and ledge rows are
  weak**: the gully face keeps almost no snow (the synthetic gullies are too shallow for the
  couloir rule's 4 m depth scale at 1 m/px, and at 0.25 m/px the 25 m radius spans the whole
  patch), and the 1 m ledge face shows snow as striped scanline dashes (70-deg risers alternate
  with treads 1-2 px tall, below the dash filter's limit). Both need the curvature scales set in
  metres per pixel, not fixed metres.
- Olympus sheet: 80 km rows are broken (camera at 3 m on the Strait shore; the peak is under the
  horizon haze, and the foreground water is drawn as forest). The Dragontail 20 km rows show the
  best snow pattern of the whole sheet set (gully threads in September, broken cover in May).
- Disk: study folder ~300 MB (cache 250 MB). DEM tiles are read over HTTP, nothing big stored.
