Remote sensing of snow albedo for determination of dustfall

Abstract:
Changes in snow reflectivity as a function of dustfall were used to measure dust deposition rates in terms of satellite reflectivity data. The results show that for dry snow conditions, snow reflectivity can be approximated by Kubelka-Munk theory. Dustfall above threshold values of 10 microg/cm(2) can be detected using Landsat computer tape data. Determination of dust deposition over ice-covered lakes and harbors appears in good agreement with sampling measurements.

Average Value on a Rectangle
A snowfall map can represent how snow depth varies across a region, such as Colorado, over a fixed time period. Since different locations may receive different amounts of snow, the snowfall depth is described by a function of two variables. If f(x,y) represents the snow depth at a point in a rectangular region, then the average snowfall over the entire region is found by comparing the total accumulated snowfall with the area being measured.Total Snowfall over a RegionThe total snowfall over a...
Precipitation Gravimetry
Precipitation gravimetry is based on converting an analyte into a sparingly soluble precipitate, which is separated by filtration and weighed. An ideal precipitate should be pure, insoluble, of known composition, and easily filtered from the reaction mixture.
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
