Elevation dependency of mountain snow depth [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2014
Abstract. Elevation strongly affects quantity and distribution of precipitation and snow. Positive elevation gradients were identified by many studies, usually based on data from sparse precipitation stations or snow depth measurements. We present a systematic evaluation of the elevation – snow depth relationship.

Historical and real-time estimation of snow depth in Eurasia based on multiple passive microwave data

open access: yesAdvances in Climate Change Research, 2023
Current snow depth datasets demonstrate large discrepancies in the spatial pattern in Eurasia, and the lagging updates of datasets do not meet the operational requirements of the meteorological service department. This study developed a dynamic retrieval

A simple model for predicting snow albedo decay using observations from the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow-Albedo (CoCoRAHS-Albedo) Network [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The albedo of seasonal snow cover plays an important role in the global climate system due to its influence on Earth’s radiation budget and energy balance.

Object-based ensemble estimation of snow depth and snow water equivalent over multiple months in Sodankylä, Finland [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Snowpack characteristics such as snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) are widely studied in regions prone to heavy snowfall and long winters. These features are measured in the field via manual or automated observations and over larger spatial ...

Snow Depth

open access: yes, 2006
Over southern Canada maximum snow depth usually occurs in January or February, while the time of maximum accumulation occurs much later in mountain areas and in the Arctic. The main features of the map are the pronounced maximum in snow accumulation over the western Cordillera (British Columbia and Yukon), where snow depths can exceed several metres ...

Snow Depth and its Response to Climate Change over the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibetan) Plateau in Recent 40 Years

open access: yesGaoyuan qixiang
Based on the China snow depth time series data set and high resolution ground meteorological element driven dataset, this study analyzes the spatial and temporal variation of snow depth on the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibetan) Plateau by watershed and elevation ...

Using a fixed-wing UAS to map snow depth distribution: an evaluation at peak accumulation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2016
We investigate snow depth distribution at peak accumulation over a small Alpine area ( ∼  0.3 km2) using photogrammetry-based surveys with a fixed-wing unmanned aerial system (UAS).

A combined multi-source data and deep learning approach for retrieving snow depth on Antarctic Sea ice during the melting season

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth
Snow on the Antarctic sea ice is a crucial component of the cryosphere. In response to the dynamic and highly heterogeneous Antarctic snow during the sea ice melting season, this study employed a combined multi-source data and deep learning method to ...
