Relationships between snowfall density and solid hydrometeors, based on measured size and fall speed, for snowpack modeling applications

The initial density of deposited snow is mainly controlled by snowfall hydrometeors. The relationship between snowfall density and hydrometeors has been qualitatively examined by previous researchers; however, a quantitative relationship has not yet been established due to difficulty in parameterizi...
