The Impact of Diffusive Water Vapor Transport on Snow Profiles in Deep and Shallow Snow Covers and on Sea Ice

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Water vapor transport has been highlighted as a critical process in Arctic snowpacks, shaping the snow cover structure in terms of density, thermal conductivity, and temperature profile among others.

Spatio-temporal influence of tundra snow properties on Ku-band (17.2 GHz) backscatter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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.

Impacts of landscape and climatic factors on snow cover in the Altai Mountains, China

open access: yesAdvances in Climate Change Research, 2021
Snow properties and their changes are crucial to better understanding of hydrological processes, soil thermal regimes, and surface energy balances. Reliable data and information on snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) are also crucial for water ...

A sensitivity study of daytime net radiation during snowmelt to forest canopy and atmospheric conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This study investigates the dependence of net radiation at snow surfaces under forest canopies on the overlying canopy density. The daily sum of positive values of net radiation is used as an index of the snowmelt rate.

Snow density measurements during the ALERT2018 campaign

open access: yes, 2023
Snow density measurements were obtained doing classical snow pits during the ALERT2018 campaign in May 2018 over the sea ice in the Lincoln Sea. Snow pits were taken at representative locations of the floes.

Snow probe for in situ determination of wetness and density [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1994
The amount of water present in liquid form in a snowpack exercises a strong influence on the radar and radiometric responses of snow. Conventional techniques for measuring the liquid water content m/sub /spl upsi// suffer from various shortcomings, which include poor accuracy, long analysis time, poor spatial resolution, and/or cumbersome and ...

Density of snow under the canopy of artificial spruce stands in the Middle Urals [PDF]

open access: yesСибирский лесной журнал
The comparison of snow density in small open spaces adjacent to forest stands and under the canopy of spruce stands located on the macroslopes of the Middle Urals of the eastem end westem expositions was carried out. It was found that the density of snow

A Time Series of Snow Density and Snow Water Equivalent Observations Derived From the Integration of GPR and UAV SfM Observations

open access: yesFrontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022
Snow depth can be mapped from airborne platforms and measured in situ rapidly, but manual snow density and snow water equivalent (SWE) measurements are time consuming to obtain using traditional survey methods.
