Temperature Gradient
Also:
The variation of temperature, per unit of depth, of snow cover. An example of a large, or steep, temperature gradient is a thin early-season snowpack in which the base is at freezing (32F, 0C) and the surface is exposed to a very cold air temperature and/or clear skies allowing radiational cooling.
