Spatio-temporal snow data assimilation with the ICESat-2 laser altimeter [PDF]
The satellite laser altimeter ICESat-2 provides accurate surface elevation observations across the globe. With a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM), we can use such measurements to retrieve snow depth profiles even in remote areas where snow ...

Predicting snow depth with people
Meteorologists are using a technique based on human observations to calibrate a Doppler radar method of predicting how much snow will fall in major storms.In a new program sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), several dozen volunteers will record information about the shape and size of snowflakes and measure the depth

Georeferenced Snow Depth and Snow Water Equivalent Dataset (2025) from East Kazakhstan Region
In this work, we present the Snow Depth and Snow Water Equivalent Dataset for specific areas located in the East Kazakhstan Region that can be exploited to monitor and understand water resource dynamics in mountain regions. The present dataset represents

Assimilation of L-band interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) snow depth retrievals for improved snowpack quantification [PDF]
The integration of snow hydrology models and remote sensing observations via data assimilation is a promising method to capture the dynamics of seasonal snowpacks at a high spatial resolution and to reduce uncertainty with respect to snow water resources.

Modelling the spatial variability of maximum mountain snow depth in Northern Norway
Snow depth is highly variant in wind-dominant mountain environments. The variation is especially high at local scales. Winter maximum snow depth influences the ground temperatures and the beginning of the growing season.

This map shows the average maximum snow depth in centimetres computed over 18 winter seasons (1979 to 1997). Over southern Canada this usually occurs in January or February, while the time of maximum accumulation occurs much later in mountain areas and in the Arctic.
