New snow
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007530
Freshly fallen snow that has not yet undergone substantial metamorphism or compaction since its deposition. It typically exhibits a low density and high porosity, retaining the crystalline structure of individual snowflakes. The depth of new snow is a key measurement for avalanche forecasting and hydrological models.
