Using Ultrasonic Waves to Determine the Microstructure of Snow

Acoustic signals interact with the physical structure of porous media, are particularly sensitive to porosity and tortuosity, and can be used to measure physical properties in a non-destructive manner. Given the fragile nature of freshly fallen snow, non-contact, non-destructive characterization met...
