  abstract = {{H}igh-accuracy measurements of snow {B}idirectional {R}eflectance {D}istribution {F}unction ({BRDF}) were performed for four natural snow samples with a spectrogonio-radiometer in the 500-2600 nm wavelength range. {T}hese measurements are one of the first sets of direct snow {BRDF} values over a wide range of lighting and viewing geometry. {T}hey were compared to {BRDF} calculated with two optical models. {V}ariations of the snow anisotropy factor with lighting geometry, wavelength and snow physical properties were investigated. {R}esults show that at wavelengths with small penetration depth, scattering mainly occurs in the very top layers and the anisotropy factor is controlled by the phase function. {I}n this condition, forward scattering peak or double scattering peak is observed. {I}n contrast at shorter wavelengths, the penetration of the radiation is much deeper and the number of scattering events increases. {T}he anisotropy factor is thus nearly constant and decreases at grazing observation angles. {T}he whole dataset is available on demand from the corresponding author.},
