The Pendular-Funicular Liquid Transition in Snow
Abstract The way free water is distributed around contact points of ice grains is recorded by measuring the dielectric constant of the porous system which constitutes snow. Within the saturation range of 11% to 15% of the pore volume, a transitional range from the “pendular” to the “funicular” mode...
