Impact of dynamic snow density on GlobSnow snow water equivalent retrieval accuracy [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Snow water equivalent (SWE) is an important variable in describing global seasonal snow cover. Traditionally, SWE has been measured manually at snow transects or using observations from weather stations.

Implementing spatially and temporally varying snow densities into the GlobSnow snow water equivalent retrieval [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Snow water equivalent (SWE) is a valuable characteristic of snow cover, and it can be estimated using passive spaceborne radiometer measurements. The radiometer-based GlobSnow SWE retrieval methodology, which assimilates weather station snow depth ...

EVALUATING THE CONSISTENCY OF REMOTE SENSING BASED SNOW DEPTH PRODUCTS IN ARID ZONE OF WESTERN CHINA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012 Snow cover is a sensitive indicator of global climate change. Among various snow cover parameters, snow depth which can indicate snow accumulation is essential for retrieving snow water equivalent.

Reliability approach for safe designing on a locking system [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this work is to predict the failure probability of a locking system. This failure probability is assessed using complementary methods: the First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Second-Order Reliability Method (SORM) as approximated methods,

A reliability assessment of physical vulnerability of reinforced concrete walls loaded by snow avalanches [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Abstract. Snow avalanches are a threat to many kinds of elements (human beings, communication axes, structures, etc.) in mountain regions. For risk evaluation, the vulnerability assessment of civil engineering structures such as buildings and dwellings exposed to avalanches still needs to be improved.
