Journal of Glaciology, 2022 The long-term refrigerated storage of melted snow and/or ice samples for analyses of insoluble microparticles (hereafter, microparticles) may be limited by increases in the biological particle concentration caused by microbial growth after ~1–2 weeks. In

Snow microphysical retrieval from the NASA D3R radar during ICE-POP 2018 [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2022 A method is developed to use both polarimetric and dual-frequency radar measurements to retrieve microphysical properties of falling snow. It is applied to the Ku- and Ka-band measurements of the NASA dual-polarization, dual-frequency Doppler radar (D3R)

Geosciences, 2020 Snow avalanches are catastrophic phenomena because of their destructive power. Therefore, it is very important to forecast the affected area of snow avalanches using numerical simulations.

Blowing snow measurements at Mizuho Station and Dome Fuji Station, Antarctica
Antarctic Record, 2008 Blowing snow observations were carried out at Mizuho Station, Antarctica from Sept. to Nov. 2000. A blowing snow observation system including snow particle counters (SPC) which can sense not only the number of snow particles but also their diameters, was

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 When deposited on snow and ice, light absorbing impurities (LAIs) such as dust and black carbon (BC) reduce surface albedo and enhance melt. BC comes from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass.

Monitoring of snow surface near-infrared bidirectional reflectance factors with added light-absorbing particles [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Broadband snow albedo can range from 0.3 to 0.9 depending on microphysical properties and light-absorbing particle (LAP) concentrations. Beyond the widely observed direct and visibly apparent effect of darkening snow, it is still unclear how LAPs ...

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2013 Abstract Snow particle size is an important parameter strongly affecting snow cover broadband albedo from seasonally snow covered areas and ice sheets. It is also important in remote sensing analyses because it influences the reflectance and scattering properties of the snow.

Snow particle motion in process of cornice formation [PDF]
The CryosphereSnow cornices are a common snow pattern in cold regions, and their fracture and collapse can easily trigger avalanches. Despite numerous observations and experimental simulations on their formation process, the microscopic mechanism of their initial ...

In situ sampled snow particle sizes of the East Antarctic ice sheet and their relation to physical and remotely sensed snow surface parameters [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2013 AbstractKnowledge of snow properties across Antarctica is important in estimating how climate could potentially influence the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. However, measuring these variables has proven to be challenging because appropriate techniques have not yet been developed and extensive datasets of field estimates are lacking.
