Supporting data for the Near-Infrared Emitting and Reflectance-Monitoring Dome
Documentation:
- Research Overview -
Summary: The Near-Infrared Emitting and Reflectance-Monitoring Dome (NERD) is an
instrument designed to obtain snow specific surface area (SSA). We obtain snow
SSA by measuring 1.30 and 1.55 micrometer bidirectional reflectance factors
(BRFs) of natural snow. Natural snow was collected after snowfall events in
the winters of 2015, 2016, and 2017 in Hanover, New Hampshire.

This file reads in Monte Carlo data and calculates and plots
directional-hemispherical reflectance as a function of snow specific
surface area for various ice shape habits

Raw data from February 14, 2017 soot-in-snow experiment
mc_ssa_cal.tar.gz - Monte Carlo output database. These raw output files contain
photon exit angles used to calculate
reflectances. monte_carlo_data.py, in fig04/ and fig05/,
import these data, calculate reflectances, and plot results
in figures 4 and 5.
fig03.tar.gz - MicroCT database. Top directories are named after unique
samples labeled in Figure 4.
- Definition of Terms and Variables -
fig04/nerd_xct_snow_ssa.py and fig06/nerd_calibration_curves.py:
nerd_ssa_cal_XX() sets up the snow SSA data object and adds observational data recorded
by the NERD for the XX degree viewing zenith angle at each wavelength (1.30 and 1.55 microns).
The raw observational data are recorded by self.add_observational_data(), which adds
NERD measurements, microCT derived SSA, and meta-data to the data object.
fig07/feb14_data.py
NERD BRFs are stored in Python dictionaries:
brf_natural, brf_bc, and brf_sand are snow BRFs measured by the NERD on Feb. 14 2017
for natural snow, snow contaminated with black carbon, and snow contaminated with sand, respectively.
Each row represents a set of measurements collected at a given time. Multiple rows
indicate measurements collected at multiple times throughout the day.
brf_cal_50 are measurements of the grey reflectance target
brf_cal_95 are measurements of the white reflectance target
