Snow Characterization Measurements from SNOW-TWO/Smoke Week VI,

Abstract

Snow characterization measurements acquired during SNOW-TWO/Smoke Week VI are presented. A summary of data for 8 days in January 1984 is given. These data consist of fall velocity, snow structure, and snowrate as recorded by Laboratory prototype equipment. A new concept of back lighting on the fall velocity indicator is discussed and data examples shown. Snowrate plots, fall velocity and crystal type information are presented for selected periods.
