PDF. As cited by Drs. Dozier and Painter in Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Science (vol. 32, pp. 465-494, 2004), assumption that the snow can be characterized by a single effective grain radius, and liquid water in the snow does not affect the retrievals of snow cover area and grain size "is often invalid because the penetration depths of different wavelengths vary according to the transparency of ice, so near-surface variability of grain size causes confusing results (Zhou et al., 2003)".
