The effects of variation in snow properties on passive microwave snow mass estimation [PDF]
Estimating snow mass at continental scales is difficult, but important for understanding land-atmosphere interactions, biogeochemical cycles and the hydrology of the Northern latitudes.

Snow Depth and Snow Density at Resolute, Northwest Territories [PDF]
AbstractObservations of the snow depth at 21 sites at Resolute were made twice weekly during the winter of 1957–58. As a result of these observations, and of other observations on snow made for the National Research Council, it is shown that the snow depth and the water content of the snow did not continue to increase during the winter as the snow fell.

Estimating Snowpack Density from Near-Infrared Spectral Reflectance Using a Hybrid Model
Improving the estimation of snow density is a key task in current snow research. Characterization of the variability of density in time and space is essential for the estimation of water equivalent, hydroelectric power production, assessment of natural ...

Spatio-temporal influence of tundra snow properties on Ku-band (17.2 GHz) backscatter [PDF]
During the 2010/11 boreal winter, a distributed set of backscatter measurements was collected using a ground-based Ku-band (17.2 GHz) scatterometer system at 26 open tundra sites.

The surface snow density of glaciers and ice sheets is of fundamental importance in converting volume to mass in both altimetry and surface mass balance studies, yet it is often poorly constrained.

Vertical profile of snow-firn density in the vicinity of Vostok station, Central Antarctica
The density of the snow and firn thickness is one of the fundamental and most important physical properties of the polar ice sheets. The data on density is used for reconstructing the past snow accumulation rate variability based on firn core studies ...

Convection of snow: when and why does it happen?
Convection of water vapor in snowpacks is supposed to have a major impact on snow density and microstructure profiles with strong implications for the thermal regime and snow stability.

A Reanalysis of the Carbon Abundance in the Translucent Cloud toward HD 24534 [PDF]
We have reanalyzed the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph data set presented by Snow et al. which contains the interstellar intersystem C II] 2325A line through the translucent cloud toward HD 24534 (X Persei). In contrast to the results of Snow et al.,

Equivalent snow density to estimate snow load in extremely heavy snow areas
約10年にわたる山地積雪観測ネットワークによる積雪深および積雪重量の連続観測結果に基づき,最大積雪深から最大積雪重量を算定するための等価積雪密度の新たな実用式を提案した.これは,本州に限定されるが,最大積雪深が3mを超えると,従来のすべての設計指針に示された値より大きくなる.今後,多雪地の雪荷重を推定する場合は,用いる等価積雪密度に注意を払う必要がある.
