Snow Load Effect on the Earth's Rotation and Gravitational Field, 1979-1985

A global, monthly snow depth data set has been generated from the Nimbus 7 satellite observations using passive microwave remote-sensing techniques. In this paper we analyze 7 years of data, 1979-1985, to compute the snow load effects on the earth's rotation and low-degree zonal gravitational f...
