Abstract Accurate, timely, and actionable flood forecasting has potential for reducing flood risk but remains challenging due to uncertainties in meteorological forecasts, poor hydrological observations, and increasing forecast errors with lead time. While Long Short‐Term Memory (LSTM) models have surpassed conventional hydrological forecasting models,

Statistical Model of Subsurface Scattering Bias in ICESat‐2's ATL06 Product
Abstract ICESat‐2 uses visible laser pulses and photon‐counting detectors to range the Earth's surface, providing precision altimetry for measuring ice sheet elevation change. However, since water ice is transparent to visible light, the photon returns recorded by ICESat‐2's ATLAS instrument may originate from subsurface scattering inside the snow or ...

Deriving Snow Depth From ICESat-2 Lidar Multiple Scattering Measurements: Uncertainty Analyses
The application of diffusion theory and Monte Carlo lidar radiative transfer simulations presented in Part I of this series of study suggests that snow depth can be derived from the first-, second- and third-order moments of the lidar backscattering ...

Abstract Snow on Antarctic sea ice modulates albedo, thermodynamic growth, and snow–ice formation, yet remains a leading uncertainty in altimetry‐derived sea‐ice thickness. Here we use the post‐2022 CRYO2ICE configuration to derive along‐track winter snow thickness from ICESat‐2 laser and CryoSat‐2 Ku‐band radar freeboards over the Weddell and Ross ...

Abstract Snow on sea ice modulates the Earth's radiation budget and sea ice mass balance, yet satellite retrievals of Arctic snow depth remain subject to substantial algorithmic uncertainty. We develop a multi‐model machine learning (ML) framework for retrieving spring snow depth over Arctic sea ice from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2).

Abstract Accurate hydrological prediction in alpine regions remains challenging due to complex cryospheric processes and limited observational records. Traditional hydrological models are often subject to structural uncertainty, whereas purely data‐driven deep learning (DL) models may lack physical interpretability under non‐stationary climate ...

Abstract Isolating glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations of vertical land motion (VLM) in Greenland requires removal of elastic solid Earth response to contemporary ice mass change. This elastic correction depends on ice‐surface elevation changes derived from satellite altimetry and firn ...

ICESat‐2 Pointing Calibration and Geolocation Performance
ICESat‐2 science requirements are dependent on the accurate real‐time pointing control (i.e., geolocation control) and postprocessed geolocation knowledge of the laser altimeter surface returns. Prelaunch pointing alignment errors and postlaunch pointing
