Brief communication "Snow profile associated measurements (SPAM) – a new instrument for quick snow profile measurements"
Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland
Abstract. A new instrument concept (SPAM) for snow profile associated measurements is presented. The potential of the concept is demonstrated by presenting preliminary results obtained with the prototype instrument. With this concept it is possible to retrieve rapid snow profiles of e.g. light extinction, reflectance, temperature and snow layer structure with high vertical resolution. As a side-product, also snow depth is retrieved.
