Abstract
Snow density profiles are usually determined gravimetrically; only recently have additional tools, such as the neutron probe allowed in situ assessment. However, rapid high-resolution in situ assessment of snow density is still not pos- sible. Data from Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) in polar snow was compared both qualitatively and quantitatively with snow density data in order to examine relationships between CPT sleeve friction and density. A statistically significant relationship exists between snow density and depth-adjusted CPT sleeve-friction. Use of cone penetration test sleeve-friction data enables in situ density estimation to depths of up to 10 m in polar snow
