Arctic Snow Microstructure Experiment for the development of snow emission modelling [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2016 The Arctic Snow Microstructure Experiment (ASMEx) took place in Sodankylä, Finland in the winters of 2013–2014 and 2014–2015. Radiometric, macro-, and microstructure measurements were made under different experimental conditions of homogenous

Experimental and model-based investigation of the links between snow bidirectional reflectance and snow microstructure [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Snow stands out from materials at the Earth’s surface owing to its unique optical properties. Snow optical properties are sensitive to the snow microstructure, triggering potent climate feedbacks.

A general treatment of snow microstructure exemplified by an improved relation for thermal conductivity [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 Finding relevant microstructural parameters beyond density is a longstanding problem which hinders the formulation of accurate parameterizations of physical properties of snow.

SMRT: an active–passive microwave radiative transfer model for snow with multiple microstructure and scattering formulations (v1.0) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2018 The Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) thermal emission and backscatter model was developed to determine uncertainties in forward modeling through intercomparison of different model ingredients.

Unraveling the optical shape of snow [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 The reflection of sunlight off the snow is a major driver of the Earth’s climate. This reflection is governed by the shape and arrangement of ice crystals at the micrometer scale, called snow microstructure.

Vapor flux and recrystallization during dry snow metamorphism under a steady temperature gradient as observed by time-lapse micro-tomography [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 Dry snow metamorphism under an external temperature gradient is the most common type of recrystallization of snow on the ground. The changes in snow microstructure modify the physical properties of snow, and therefore an understanding of this process is ...

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2021 Reliable microstructure measurement of snow is a requirement for microwave radiative transfer model validation. Snow specific surface area (SSA) can be measured using stereological methods, in which snow samples are cast in the field and photographed in ...
