Snow Impurities

Snow impurities is a physical environmental construct referring to particulate matter of non-ice composition, such as black carbon, mineral dust, and organic debris, deposited within or on snowpacks that alters the radiative properties of snow by reducing albedo and enhancing solar absorption.
