Bill has recently published significant synthetic insights from basic physical concepts and mathematical solutions to gas exchange at air-snow interfaces, for example see Massman, 2006
(http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2006/2006JG000163.shtml) and Massman and Frank, 2006 (http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2006/2006JG000164.shtml). The propagation of air in snow and soil from
atmospheric turbulence are important to soil respiration, snow melt, and the composition of trapped glacial gas.
