Lecture

Snow Measurements: Techniques and Analysis

Description

This lecture covers various techniques for snow depth measurements, including automated sensors and laser scanners. It also discusses photogrammetry, 3D reconstruction, and the use of infrared sensors for surface temperature and air temperature measurements. Additionally, it explores different types of temperature sensors like thermistors and thermocouples, as well as instruments for measuring wind components, humidity, and liquid water content in snow. The lecture delves into snow stratigraphy, density, hardness, grain size, and type analysis, along with the use of Snow Micro-Penetrometer for microstructural properties evaluation. It also touches upon the application of X-Ray Computed Tomography and NIR photography for snow crystal imaging and the impact of advection-dispersion on snow properties.
