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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
