X-Ray Tomography-Based Microstructure Representation in the Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer Model
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2021 The modular Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) model simulates microwave scattering behavior in snow via different selectable theories and snow microstructure representations, which is well suited to intercomparisons analyses.

Microstructure-based modeling of snow mechanics: a discrete element approach [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Rapid and large deformations of snow are mainly controlled by grain rearrangements, which occur through the failure of cohesive bonds and the creation of new contacts. We exploit a granular description of snow to develop a discrete element model based on

The influence of snow microstructure on dual-frequency radar measurements in a tundra environment
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2018 Recent advancement in the understanding of snow-microwave interactions has helped to isolate the considerable potential for radar-based retrieval of snow water equivalent (SWE).

Microstructural characterization of snow, firn and ice [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2019 This paper provides an overview of techniques used to characterize the microstructure of snow, firn and ice. These range from traditional optical microscopy techniques such as examining thin sections between crossed polarizers to various electron-optical and X-ray techniques.

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

Changes in microstructure of snow under large deformations [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1991 AbstractA set of microstructural variables is selected to characterize the behavior of snow. Corresponding mathematical relations from quantitative stereology theory are presented along with relations and techniques required for numerical evaluation. An experimental investigation is carried out to determine changes in these variables for snow subjected
