MARC recordMonitoring snow grain size for passive microwave studies / Richard L. Armstrong, Albert Rango.
| Title: | Monitoring snow grain size for passive microwave studies / Richard L. Armstrong, Albert Rango. |
| Author(s): | Armstrong, Richard L. Rango, Albert. |
| Date: | 1992. |
| In: | Western Snow Conference. Proceedings. (1992.), Vol. 60th Annual Meeting (1992) |
| Abstract: | Discusses need to characterize snow grain size on regional basis so that level of accuracy of passive microwave snow-cover algorithms can be improved. First level of characterization is to determine exent to which average snow-grain sizes exceed threshold value of 2 mm in diameter. Preliminary analysis indicates that even crude relationship between snow depth and grain size can make significant contribution to improved accuracy. |
