Method of Measuring Liquid Water Mass Fraction of Snow by Alcohol Solution

Abstract a method of making field measurements of the liquid water fraction of snow has been developed in which a snow sample is dissolved in methanol to produce a temperature depression. The depression is linearly related to the liquid water content of the snow sample. a single operator can perform...
