snow measurement techniques

Snow measurement techniques involve collecting and quantifying snow to understand snowfall and accumulation. Common methods include using a snow board (a flat surface) to measure snowfall with a ruler or ruler marked in millimeters or inches, and snow pillows, which are filled with antifreeze solution that compresses under snow weight to estimate snow water equivalent. Automatic sensors and radar can also detect snow depth remotely. These techniques help meteorologists assess snowfall amounts, plan for weather impacts, and study climate patterns accurately.
