Obtaining sub-daily new snow density from automated measurements in high mountain regions [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018 The density of new snow is operationally monitored by meteorological or hydrological services at daily time intervals, or occasionally measured in local field studies.

Impulse Radar Snow Surveys – Influence of Snow Density [PDF]
Hydrology Research, 2000 Snow cover water equivalent (SWE) is of major importance for planning of e.g. hydropower production in areas where a large proportion of the annual precipitation falls as snow. Radar technique can be used to determine SWE from the two-way travel time (twt) of a radar-wave propagation through a snowpack.

Performance of snow density measurement systems in snow stratigraphies [PDF]
, 2020 Abstract. Gravimetric and dielectric permittivity measuring systems are applied to measure snow density, but few studies have addressed differences between the two measurement systems under complex snowpack conditions. A field experiment was conducted to measure snow density using the two measurement systems in different stratigraphical layers ...

Representative surface snow density on the East Antarctic Plateau [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Surface mass balances of polar ice sheets are essential to estimate the contribution of ice sheets to sea level rise. Uncertain snow and firn densities lead to significant uncertainties in surface mass balances, especially in the interior regions of the ...

Snow Particle Analyzer for Simultaneous Measurements of Snow Density and Morphology
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2023 AbstractThe detailed characterization of snow particles is critical for understanding the snow settling behavior and modeling the ground snow accumulation for various applications such as prevention of avalanches and snowmelt‐caused floods, etc. In this study, we present a snow particle analyzer for simultaneous measurements of various properties of ...

Seasonal evolution of snow density and its impact on thermal regime of sea ice during the MOSAiC expedition [PDF]
The CryosphereSnow density is a crucial parameter for sea ice modelling at the physical process level. The seasonal evolution of surface (top 3 cm) and bulk (entire layer) snow densities observed during the MOSAiC expedition was investigated and used to assess four ...

PLoS ONE, 2021 The endangered snow leopard Panthera uncia occurs in human use landscapes in the mountains of South and Central Asia. Conservationists generally agree that snow leopards must be conserved through a land-sharing approach, rather than land-sparing in the ...

Brief communication: Light-absorbing impurities can reduce the density of melting snow [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Climatic effects of black carbon (BC) deposition on snow have been proposed to result from reduced snow albedo and increased melt due to light-absorbing particles.
