Remote Sensing, 2016 Snow on Antarctic sea ice plays a key role for sea ice physical processes and complicates retrieval of sea ice thickness using altimetry. Current methods of snow depth retrieval are based on satellite microwave radiometry, which perform best for dry ...

Snow Depth and Snow Density at Resolute, Northwest Territories [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1960 Abstract Observations of the snow depth at 21 sites at Resolute were made twice weekly during the winter of 1957–58. As a result of these observations, and of other observations on snow made for the National Research Council, it is shown that the snow depth and the water content of the snow did not continue to ...

Tree canopy and snow depth relationships at fine scales with terrestrial laser scanning [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Understanding the impact of tree structure on snow depth and extent is important in order to make predictions of snow amounts and how changes in forest cover may affect future water resources.

Spatial modeling of extreme snow depth
The Annals of Applied Statistics, 2011 The spatial modeling of extreme snow is important for adequate risk management in Alpine and high altitude countries. A natural approach to such modeling is through the theory of max-stable processes, an infinite-dimensional extension of multivariate extreme value theory.

Deriving Snow Depth From ICESat-2 Lidar Multiple Scattering Measurements
Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022 Snow is a crucial element in the Earth’s system, but snow depth and mass are very challenging to be measured globally. Here, we provide the theoretical foundation for deriving snow depth directly from space-borne lidar (ICESat-2) snow multiple scattering

Persistence in intra-annual snow depth distribution: 2. Fractal analysis of snow depth development [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2011 We present an analysis of high resolution laser scanning data of snow depths of three different slopes in the Wannengrat catchment (introduced in part 1) using omnidirectional and directional variograms for three specific terrain features; cross‐loaded slopes, lee slopes, and windward slopes.

Airborne lidar and machine learning reveal decreased snow depth in burned forests [PDF]
The CryosphereWildfires are increasingly burning higher in elevations well into the seasonal snow zone, altering snow accumulation and melt dynamics. However, limited spatially distributed observations throughout the full snow season have constrained our understanding

Mapping snow depth within a tundra ecosystem using multiscale observations and Bayesian methods [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 This paper compares and integrates different strategies to characterize the variability of end-of-winter snow depth and its relationship to topography in ice-wedge polygon tundra of Arctic Alaska.

Sub-kilometre scale distribution of snow depth on Arctic sea ice from Soviet drifting stations
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 The sub-kilometre scale distribution of snow depth on Arctic sea ice impacts atmosphere-ice fluxes of energy and mass, and is of importance for satellite estimates of sea-ice thickness from both radar and lidar altimeters.
