Snow depth (SD) (cm)
Snow Water equivalent SWE (kg.m-2 = mm) = Sum (hi x Di/100) where hi (cm) is the height of the layer i of density Di (kg.m-3), over the whole height of the snowpack.
Bulk (mean) density, kg.m-3, , measured each 3 or 5 cm with a density cutter of respectively 100 or 250 cm3.
Height of the basal layer of depth hoar (cm)
Depth hoar fraction (without unit): ratio between the height of the basal layer of depth hoar (cm) and the snow depth (cm)
"Env. type and comments": information on the type of land cover and/or the type of soil under the snow, and sometimes on the snowpack
Unit
None
