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 ...

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 ...

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023 Lidar multiple scattering measurements provide the probability distribution of the distance laser light travels inside snow. Based on an analytic two-stream radiative transfer solution, the present study demonstrates why/how these lidar measurements can ...

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 Abstract Observations 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 ...

On the saltation of fresh snow in a wind tunnel: profile characterization and single particle statistics [PDF]
, 2008 We present experimental results on the snow drift in a turbulent boundary layer over a flat fresh snow-covered surface. Vertical profiles of mass flux and of the distribution of particle diameters were obtained by means of a pair of Snow Particle ...

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 ...

ASIRAS airborne radar resolves internal annual layers in the dry-snow zone of Greenland [PDF]
, 2006 We present data from the European Space Agency's Airborne SAR/Interferometric Radar Altimeter System (ASIRAS), flown during the CryoVex 2004 field calibration/validation campaign, and new, high-resolution depth profiles of snow density measured in the ...

Vertical profile of snow-firn density in the vicinity of Vostok station, Central Antarctica
Лëд и снег, 2023 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 ...
