Experimental and analytical study of radiation-recrystallized near-surface facets in snow
22
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study on the formation of radiation-recrystallized near-surface facets in snow was performed in an environmental chamber, where a metal-halide lamp was used to mimic solar radiation, which penetrates the snow allowing thermal energy to be absorbed at depth.

A Model for the Spectral Albedo of Snow. II: Snow Containing Atmospheric Aerosols
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that small highly absorbing particles, present in concentrations of only 1 part per million by weight (ppmw) or less, can lower snow albedo in the visible by 5-15% from the high values (96-99%) predicted for pure snow in Part I.
