Modeling bulk density and snow water equivalent using daily snow depth observations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 Abstract. Bulk density is a fundamental property of snow relating its depth and mass. Previously, two simple models of bulk density (depending on snow depth, date, and location) have been developed to convert snow depth observations to snow water equivalent (SWE) estimates. However, these models were not intended for application at the daily time step.

A prototype passive microwave retrieval algorithm for tundra snow density [PDF]
The CryosphereSnow density data are important for a variety of applications, yet, to our knowledge, there are few methods for estimating spatiotemporal varying snow density in the Arctic environment.

Investigating ANN architectures and training to estimate snow water equivalent from snow depth [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Canada's water cycle is driven mainly by snowmelt. Snow water equivalent (SWE) is the snow-related variable that is most commonly used in hydrology, as it expresses the total quantity of water (solid and liquid) stored in the snowpack.

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.

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 ...

Snow Concentration and Effective Air Density During Snow-Falls [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1983 AbstractThe mass concentration of falling snow ρs can be estimated from the snow-fall rate (accumulation rate) qv if there is no significant wind. Limited data show only a weak relation between fall velocity ut and qv (with qv in g/cm2 h). Consequently there is a strong correlation (r2 = 0.97) between ρs and qv (with qv in g/cm2 h).

Predicting snow density using meteorological data [PDF]
Meteorological Applications, 2007 AbstractThis paper presents a simple method for predicting snow density by use of weather data. Six hundred and eight snow density (bulk weight density) measurements from the period 1967–1986 are used in a multiple regression analysis. The measurements are performed at 105 sites in the Ås area situated in Akershus County in southeast Norway.
