摘要：

It is important to measure the quality of falling snow particles as a help in analyzing radio attenuation during snowfalls. Since the quality of snow particles depends almost entirely on their density (the amount of water they contain), the snow particle density reflects their quality. To permit automatic measurement of the average densities of falling snow particles over long periods of time, the diameters and fall velocities of snow particles are measured by means of image processing. Simultaneously, the weight of all snow particles that have fallen to the ground was measured directly by means of an electronic balance. The density of the falling snow particles is calculated by dividing into this total weight the total volume of snow particles that passed through a unit volume (obtained from the diameter and velocity of snow particles). The diameters, velocities, and number of snow particles are determined by image processing. Snowfall rates calculated from the image processing data are compared with those measured directly and are found to agree.
