Intercomparison of snow density measurements: bias, precision, and vertical resolution [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Density is a fundamental property of porous media such as snow. A wide range of snow properties and physical processes are linked to density, but few studies have addressed the uncertainty in snow density measurements.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Adhesion of Wet Snow to Different Cable Surfaces [PDF]
Cohesion of snow and its adhesion to cable surfaces are the decisive factors for wet-snow shedding from power-line cables. Knowing the adhesive strength of snow is essential to predict when snow will shed and what consequences it will have on 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.

Performance of snow density measurement systems in snow stratigraphies
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.
