SSA: Motivations
• Definition
• Importance– Related to grain size (spherical approximation) [L-1]– Characterize snow metamorphism evolution– Surface available for chemical reactions
• Measurements– CH4 adsorption (Legagneux et al, 2002; Kerbrat et al
2008)– Near Infra Red methods (Gallet et al, 2009)– Tomography (Flin et al, 2004; Schneebeli and
Sokratov, 2004)
SSA = S / M S: surface areaM: mass

SSA: Motivations
• General method
• 3 different approaches for surface computation– Same results?– Representativeness?
• Extend SSA measurements to more sophisticated measurements- Toward an estimation of the Grain Contact Area

Method 3: Voxel Projection
• Use all the information contained in the normal of each voxel to improve the area estimation:– Tangent plane approximation– Normal dependent coefficients
• Lenoir et al. (1996)tangent plane

constituting the snow sample (SSAtot)– SGCA = SSAtot-SSA is the SSA that would be
released by neck breaking

CDGS Algorithm
• Curvature-Driven Grain Segmentation algorithm: snow labeling into different geometrical grains
• Main idea: detect necks with a curvature analysis (Gaussian and Mean curvature)

Conclusions
• The main numerical methods that are commonly used to determine SSA from 3D images give slightly different results
• Each method has its own drawbacks: ST is not adapted to anisotropic media, MC overestimate SSA and VP is particularly sensitive to resolution decrease.
• Depending on the method, SSA estimation of recent snow require high resolution images (voxel size < 5 µm)
• REV for SSA is attained for cubes of 2.5 mm edge• Thanks to the combination of SSA and CDGS algorithms,
SGCA values can be estimated: this opens new outlooks for the study of snow microstructure
