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.

Snow Depth and Snow Density at Resolute, Northwest Territories [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1960 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
Remote Sensing, 2021 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 ...

Observations of snowpack properties to evaluate ground-based microwave remote sensing [PDF]
, 2013 Active microwave radar has been shown to have great potential for estimating snow water equivalent (SWE) globally from space. To help evaluate optimal active microwave sensor configurations to observe SWE, we evaluated ground-based Frequency Modulated ...
