Climatological Basis for Snow Load Standards

Within the determination of design snow load, the calculation of snow density is almost the main problem. The snow density on depth of snow layer, temperature, windiness, insulation, air humidity, rain falling onto the snow, duration of exposure. There is no model that would enable the calculation of snow density evaluating all those parameters. In the lack of any snow water equivalent measurement, there are some equations that determine it by means of snow depth.
