Traditional and modern devices for measuring snow characteristics are considered. Data from measurements of snow precipitation parameters were obtained and analyzed. The features of measuring the characteristics of snow precipitation accompanied by wind are considered. The main ideas for the development of a new snowdrift meter that meets the modern requirements are outlined.
The results of studies of the consistent variability of the parameters of the electrode layer of the atmosphere during the passage of thick convective clouds accompanied by rainfall are presented. For a series of cumulonimbus cloud passes with heavy showers high-frequency (periods of less than 10 min) fluctuations in the structure of precipitation in time and size spectrum were analyzed. A correspondence between the variations of hydrometeors flow, electric field potential gradient (∇φ) and polar conductivities (λ±) has been established.
