Performance of snow density measurement systems in snow stratigraphies [PDF]
Hydrology Research, 2021 Gravimetric and dielectric permittivity measurement systems (DMS) are applied to measure snow density, but few studies have addressed differences between the two measurement systems under complex snowpack conditions.

Snow density climatology across the former USSR [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Snow density is one of the basic properties used to describe snow cover characteristics, and it is a key factor for linking snow depth and snow water equivalent, which are critical for water resources assessment and modeling inputs.

Simple estimation of snow density in an Alpine region
Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2016 Study region: The Upper Adige catchment, South Tyrol, Italy. Study focus: The empirical snow density models of Jonas et al. (2009) and Sturm et al. (2010), are compared with a simple equation that predicts snow density based on the day of the year only ...

Towards large-scale daily snow density mapping with spatiotemporally aware model and multi-source data [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Snow density plays a critical role in estimating water resources and predicting natural disasters such as floods, avalanches, and snowstorms. However, gridded products for snow density are lacking for understanding its spatiotemporal patterns.

Impact of dynamic snow density on GlobSnow snow water equivalent retrieval accuracy [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Snow water equivalent (SWE) is an important variable in describing global seasonal snow cover. Traditionally, SWE has been measured manually at snow transects or using observations from weather stations.
