Development of this snow radar and its integration with an octocopter UAV is presented. Field trials of the UAV-mounted snow radar, conducted in Antarctica during the summer season of 2017/2018, are also described. The radar allows measurements of snow depths on sea ice between 10 and 100 cm. Additional reflections due to internal layers within the snow are evident at a few measurement points. The snow radar is evaluated for various flight parameters: stationary; flying at speeds between 1 and 3 m/s, and at heights from 5 to 15 m. Evaluation of snow-depth results indicates that a depth accuracy of ±3.2 cm is achieved with stationary measurements, and of ±9.1 cm with measurements at the various flight speeds.

To achieve the study purpose, the semi-arid mountainous watershed of Sohrevard in Zanjan Province of Iran was selected. Snow depth in 150 points with systematic sampling and 150 points with LHS sampling and snow density in 18 points were randomly measured. In addition, SWE was calculated in the study area, and its map was derived based on both the sampling methods using geostatistical techniques. The results showed that the accuracy of the SWE map using LHS was higher than systematic sampling. According to the most statistical indicators, in both methods of sampling, accuracy of mapping using regular spline was better than other methods.

Non-stationary extreme value analysis of ground snow loads in the French Alps: a comparison with building standards / Erwann Le Roux in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, vol 20 n° 11 (November 2020)

We study trends in 50-year return levels of ground snow load (GSL) using non-stationary extreme value models. These trends are assessed at a mountain massif scale from GSL data, provided for the French Alps from 1959 to 2019 by a meteorological reanalysis and a snowpack model. Our results indicate a temporal decrease in 50-year return levels from 900 to 4200 m, significant in the northwest of the French Alps up to 2100 m. We detect the most important decrease at 900 m with an average of −30 % for return levels between 1960 and 2010. Despite these decreases, in 2019 return levels still exceed return levels designed for French building standards under a stationary assumption. At worst (i.e. at 1800 m), return levels exceed standards by 15 % on average, and half of the massifs exceed standards. We believe that these exceedances are due to questionable assumptions concerning the computation of standards. For example, these were devised with GSL, estimated from snow depth maxima and constant snow density set to 150 kg m−3, which underestimate typical GSL values for the snowpack.

Statistical comparison and combination of GPS, GLONASS, and multi-GNSS multipath reflectometry applied to snow depth retrieval / Sajad Tabibi in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 55 n° 7 (July 2017)

The technique is based on the simultaneous reception of direct or line-of-sight (LOS) transmissions and corresponding coherent surface reflections (non-LOS). Until recently, snow depth retrieval algorithms only used legacy and modernized GPS signals. Using multiple GNSS constellations for reflectometry would improve GNSS-MR applications by providing more observations from more satellites and independent signals (carrier frequencies and code modulations). We assess GPS and GLONASS for combined multi-GNSS-MR using simulations as well as field measurements. Synthetic observations for different signals indicated a lack of detectable interfrequency and intercode biases in GNSS-MR snow depth retrievals. Received signals from a GNSS station continuously operating in France for a two-winter period are used for experimental snow depth retrieval. We perform an internal validation of various GNSS signals against the proven GPS-L2-C signal, which was validated externally against in situ snow depth in previous studies. GLONASS observations required a more complex handling to account for topography because of its particular ground track repeatability. Signal intercomparison show an average correlation of 0.922 between different GPS snow depths and GPS-L2-CL, while GLONASS snow depth retrievals have an average correlation that exceeds 0.981. In terms of precision and accuracy, legacy GPS signals are worse, while GLONASS signals and modernized GPS signals are of comparable quality. Finally, we show how an optimal multi-GNSS combined daily snow depth time series can be formed employing variance factors with a ~59%-90% precision improvement compared to individual signal snow depth retrievals, resulting in snow depth retrieval with uncertainty of 1.3 cm. The developed combination strategy can also be applied for the European Galileo and the Chines BeiDou navigation systems.
