Sensitivity of modeled snow grain size retrievals to solar geometry, snow particle asphericity, and snowpack impurities [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Snow grain size is an important metric to determine snow age and metamorphism, but it is difficult to measure. The effective grain size can be derived from spaceborne and airborne radiance measurements due to strong attenuation of near-infrared energy by

Drifting snow measurements on the Greenland Ice Sheet and their application for model evaluation [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 This paper presents autonomous drifting snow observations performed on the Greenland Ice Sheet in the fall of 2012. High-frequency snow particle counter (SPC) observations at ~ 1 m above the surface provided drifting snow number fluxes and size ...

Sea salt aerosol production via sublimating wind-blown saline snow particles over sea ice: parameterizations and relevant microphysical mechanisms [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 Blowing snow over sea ice has been proposed as a significant source of sea salt aerosol (SSA) (Yang et al., 2008). In this study, using snow salinity data and blowing snow and aerosol particle measurements collected in the Weddell Sea sea ice zone (SIZ ...
