Feb 14, 2024 · How is snow depth measured? Snow depth should be a measure of the average depth in a given location and its immediate surroundings. It’s usually rounded to the nearest whole number.
Oct 11, 2019 · Accurate snow depth observations are critical to assess water resources. More than a billion people rely on water from snow, most of which originates in the Northern Hemisphere...

Mar 1, 2023 · In this work we present a novel snow depth estimation method that can be used at country-scale to produce spatially dense, weekly snow depth estimates at 10 m Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) with unprecedented accuracy.
Jul 10, 2017 · An understanding of the sensitivity of the light transmission and absorption at common lidar wavelengths to snow grain size and snow liquid water content is important for an assessment of the contribution of laser interaction with the snow surface to the uncertainties in snow-depth retrievals.

Dec 14, 2023 · ETH Zurich researchers and the Swiss company ExoLabs have developed an AI-assisted snow measurement system capable of determining the daily snow depth more accurately than ever before. The use of satellite images means that snow depths can even be updated without always needing to gather new measurement data on the ground.
Apr 3, 2024 · The name “snow depth” may seem to suggest that it represents a highly accurate account of snow that accumulated on the ground during the model run, with non-snow precipitation removed and highly accurate SLRs applied.

Typical vertical accuracies for airborne datasets are decimeter-scale with order 1 m point spacings. Ground-based systems typically provide millimeter-scale range accuracy and sub-meter point spacing over 1 m to several kilometers.
