I was messing around online today looking at misc items and came across an item called a Snow Crystal Card. Has a variety of measuring grids, slope calculator, etc as well as all the common avalanche field tests. Apparently an AIARE recommended item. I've been "kinda" researching avalanche study the past several weeks and I don't recall seeing anything about measuring the granules of snow and classification. Is this an actual item people use in the field or just a novelty item? What exactly am I doing with the info?
Just curious how one measures and classifies snow crystals and what that means for avalanche study. I'm going to research further but if anyone has info on the process it would be appreciated. Thanks.
