The IceCube is a commercial instrument manufactured by A2 Photonic Sensors that provides specific surface area (SSA). The IceCube measures hemispherical reflectance of a snow sample by illuminating it using a laser diode at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The reflectance is recorded as voltage using a sign...
