The specific surface area (SSA) is a measure of the snow microstructure and can be determined using an instrument called IceCube. IceCube measures the reflectance from surface of a snow sample with a 1310 nm infrared laser. In this study, the uncertainties associated with IceCube measurements of SSA...
