22. Snow densities of layer 1 (rho1) and layer 2 (rho2) were set to 160 and to 300 kg/m3 , respectively. Incidence angle (theta) was set to 40 degrees . Snowrms and soilrms were set to 2mm and 3mm respectively. The depth of snow layer 2 (d2) was kept as 10 cm for all simulations and the depth of snow layer 1 (d1) was increased from 20cm to 200cm. The grain size of snow layer 2 was kept constant as rad2 = 1mm and the grain size of snow layer 1 was set as rad1 = 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm.
