Abstract :
This paper reviews the parameters that affect the electrical properties of snow. All the parameters listed are important, but some have a special merit for the characterization of the electrical properties of snow. The most important are volume conductivity and density, followed by the liquid water content and conductivity of water melted from snow. The dc conductivity and liquid water content as a function of snow density and temperature were measured and the relationships between them were determined.
