Snowpack observations from a circumnavigation of the Greenland Ice Sheet (spring 2014).
We report the characteristics of the Greenland ice sheet snowpack, based on data collected during the first wind-propelled circumnavigation of the ice sheet, undertaken in spring 2014.

Changes in snow depth under elevation‐dependent warming over the Tibetan Plateau
Snow plays an essential role in regulating climate change, the hydrological cycle, and various biological processes. Passive microwave snow depth data and gridded data from the Climate Research Unit (CRU_TS4.04) are utilized in this study to investigate ...

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]
Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...

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.

Snow Depth Retrieval with UAS Using Photogrammetric Techniques [PDF]
Alpine areas pose challenges for many existing remote sensing methods for snow depth retrieval, thus leading to uncertainty in water forecasting and budgeting. Herein, we present the results of a field campaign conducted in Tasmania, Australia in 2013 from which estimates of snow depth were derived using a low-cost photogrammetric approach on-board a ...

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 ...

Comparative patterns of winter habitat use by muskoxen and caribou in northern Alaska [PDF]
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1992Snow depth and hardness strongly influenced selection of feeding zones, (i.e., those areas used for foraging), in late winter by both muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) and caribou (Rangifer tarandus grand) in ...
