Depending on the fractions of ice, air and water within the permeated snow volume, the measured capacitance changes, as ice, air and water have different dielectric properties. For dry snow (absence of liquid water) the snow density can be directly deduced. To determine the LWC, the ice fraction (dry snow density) of the snow must be known.","keywords":"","identifier_set":[],"instrumentType":"","subInstrument":[],"responsiblepartyinfo_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/214275/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/216635/?format=json"]}
