Short summary
Particle fragmentation makes snowflakes spherical during wind-drifting snow. However, no drifting snow model has presented this process so far. We established a drifting snow model considering particle fragmentation and investigated the effects of snow particle fragmentation on drifting and blowing snow. Our results show that fragmentation intensifies the sublimation of blowing snow and changes the airborne particle size distribution, which should not be ignored in current blowing snow models.
