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.

Convection of snow: when and why does it happen?
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 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.

Parameterization of the snow density in the top snow layer.
Journal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, 1988 積雪表層数cmの密度の時間変化を, 粘性圧縮理論に基づいてパラメータ化した.圧縮粘性係数は, 積雪密度と平均気温の関数として表した.計算結果によれば, 積雪密度は最終降雪後, 時間と共に増加し, 高温時の方が低温時よりも増加速度が大きい.密度の計算値と実測値は±0.05g・cm-3の精度で一致した.

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.

Spatially extensive estimates of annual accumulation in the dry snow zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet determined from radar altimetry [PDF]
, 2010 We present estimates of accumulation rate along a 200 km transect ranging in elevation from 2750 to 3150 m in the dry snow zone on the western slope of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Georadar Measurements for the Snow Cover Density [PDF]
American Journal of Applied Sciences, 2009 Ground Probing Radar (GPR) devices is adopted for the analysis of thickness and the mechanical properties (density) of the snow cover in some test site in Alps, in Northern Italy. The performances of standard radar systems for the snow cover characterisation are analysed, the main aim is to assess the reliability of the method to estimate the snow ...

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]
, 2004 Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...
