Title: Measuring Snow Microstructure and Hardness Using a High Resolution Penetrometer: Date: 1998; Authors: Martin Schneebeli, Christine Pielmeier, Jerome B. Johnson; Description: Using a high resolution snow penetrometer we are able to measure snow penetration resistance and snow meso- and microstructure. We can show that the ...; Object ID: issw-1998-305-311.pdf; Keywords: snow hardness, metamorphism, snow strength, snow stratigraphy, texture; View additional details about Measuring Snow Microstructure and Hardness Using a High Resolution Penetrometer

Title: The Cantilever Beam or Bridgeblock Snow Strength Test: Date: 1998; Authors: Craig Sterbenz; Description: Weak layers buried within the snowpack are chiefly responsible for slab avalanche formation. These weak layers tend to fail in shear when subjected to...; Object ID: issw-1998-566-573.pdf; Keywords: avalanche forecasting, avalanche formation, snow mechanics, snow hardness, snow strength; View additional details about The Cantilever Beam or Bridgeblock Snow Strength Test

Title: A Fiber Optic Probe for Indexing Snowpack Properties: Date: 1992; Authors: Bulent Sensoy, Rand Decker; Description: Snowpack observations are made for the purposes of avalanche forecasting and control. In general, snow depth, density, relative hardness of individual...; Object ID: issw-1992-088-092.pdf; Keywords: snow depth, density, hardness, snow temperature, grain type; View additional details about A Fiber Optic Probe for Indexing Snowpack Properties

Title: Measurement of Snow Hardness in Snow Pits Using a Resistometer: Date: 1992; Authors: Karl W. Birkeland; Description: Extended Abstract: Measurements of snow hardness in snow pits are commonly made using the hand test, whereby objects of different areas are pushed int...; Object ID: issw-1992-296-298.pdf; Keywords: resistometer, snowpits, hardness; View additional details about Measurement of Snow Hardness in Snow Pits Using a Resistometer
