Seasonal snow cover is the largest single component of the cryosphere in areal extent,
covering an average of 46 million square km of Earth's surface (31% of the land area) each …

This paper reviews measurement techniques and corresponding devices used to determine
the physical properties of the seasonal snowpack from distances close to the ground …

This paper presents a radar sensor package specifically developed for wide-coverage
sounding and imaging of polar ice sheets from a variety of aircraft. Our instruments address …

Snow is a critical water resource for the western United States and many regions across the
globe. However, our ability to accurately measure and monitor changes in snow mass from …

Snow water equivalent (SWE) is identified as the key element of the snowpack that impacts
rivers' streamflow and water cycle. Both active and passive microwave remote sensing …

In non-forested mountain regions, wind plays a dominant role in determining snow
accumulation and melt patterns. A new, computationally efficient algorithm for distributing …

Contemporary climate warming over the Arctic is accelerating mass loss from the Greenland
Ice Sheet through increasing surface melt, emphasizing the need to closely monitor its …

In-situ snow measurements conducted by European institutions for operational, research,
and energy business applications were surveyed in the framework of the European …

Seasonal snow is an important component of Earth's hydrologic cycle and climate system,
yet it remains challenging to consistently and accurately measure snow depth and snow …

Sea ice is generally covered with snow, which can vary in thickness from a few centimeters
to> 1 m. Snow cover acts as a thermal insulator modulating the heat exchange between the …
