Measurements and modelling of snow particle size and shortwave infrared albedo over a melting Antarctic ice sheet
The albedo of a snowpack depends on the single-scattering properties of individual snow crystals, which have a variety of shapes and sizes, and are often bounded in clusters. From the point of view of optical modelling, it is essential to identify the geometric dimensions of the population of snow p...
