Measurement of the specific surface area of snow using infrared reflectance in an integrating sphere at 1310 and 1550 nm
Even though the specific surface area (SSA) and the snow area index (SAI) of snow are crucial variables to determine the chemical and climatic impact of the snow cover, few data are available on the subject. We propose here a novel method to measure snow SSA and SAI. It is based on the measurement o...
