Description
These experiments investigate different possible errors by measuring the specific surface area (SSA) of snow with the near infrared method. The influence of black carbon on this measurement was disproved, the theory was therefore validated. It shows that sunlight has no influence on the measurement with the IceCube. Wind drift snow as thin layer on the sample can increase the measured value of the specific surface by a few percent. This could be part of the error, observed in former measurements at SLF. As reference for the measured SSA values with the near infrared method, computer tomography was used to verify the SSA values.
