The snow cover is a key component of land surface hydrology, especially in mountain areas
where it governs the amount and timing of water availability in downstream areas. It is …

The snow depth or snow water equivalent affects water, carbon, and energy cycles as well
as surface–atmosphere interactions. Therefore, the global monitoring of spatiotemporal …

We present a simple method that allows snow depth measurements to be converted to snow
water equivalent (SWE) estimates. These estimates are useful to individuals interested in …

Geodetic‐quality GPS systems can be used to measure average snow depth in the∼ 1000
m2 area around the GPS antenna, a sensing footprint size intermediate between in situ and …

We use snow course and airborne gamma data available over North America to compare
the validation of gridded snow water equivalent (SWE) products when evaluated with one …

Wildfire can exert considerable influence on many watershed processes, including the
partitioning of precipitation by forest canopies. Despite general acknowledgement that …

In situ measurements of water equivalent of snow cover (SWE)–the vertical depth of water
that would be obtained if all the snow cover melted completely–are used in many …

Having a realistic estimation of snow cover by conceptual hydrological models continues to
challenge hydrologists. The calibration of the free model parameters is an unavoidable step …

Snowpack distribution in Arctic and alpine landscapes often occurs in repeating, year‐to‐
year patterns due to local topographic, weather, and vegetation characteristics. Previous …

Manually collected snow data are often considered as ground truth for many applications
such as climatological or hydrological studies. However, there are many sources of …
