Spatiotemporal variation characteristics and influencing factors of snow density in the High Mountain Asia from 1960 to 2023. [PDF]
PLoS ONEUnder the context of climate change, significant variations in snow density have been observed in the High Mountain Asia, however, its spatiotemporal patterns and underlying drivers remain incompletely understood.

Estimating Daily Snow Density Through a Spatiotemporal Random Forest Model
Water Resources ResearchSnow density is of paramount importance in water resource management, snow avalanche warning, and climate change research. However, the lack of competent methods for long‐term and vast‐scale snow density mapping persists due to the intricate ...

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.

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.

What drives basin scale spatial variability of snowpack properties in northern Colorado? [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 This study uses a combination of field measurements and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) operational snow data to understand the drivers of snow density and snow water equivalent (SWE) variability at the basin scale (100s to 1000s km2 ...
