A Possible Relation Between Grain Size, Density, and Light Attenuation in Natural Snow Cover

Abstract The extinction coefficient for the transmission of light through snow cover is related to the grain size and density of the snow cover. The connection is made by means of an empirical relation between the latter parameters and the air permeability and by the Carmen–Kozney relation between t...
