Preface.- Chapter 1. Microphysics and geometry of snow surfaces.- Chapter 2. Local optical properties of snow layers.- Chapter 3. Properties of solar light reflected from snow.- Chapter 4. Snow remote sensing.

This book is the first book of its kind, focusing exclusively on the optical properties of snow. As a complex and turbid medium, snow is approached as a strongly light-scattering (in the visible spectrum) medium with large, nonspherical ice grains. The book discusses both experimental...
