Evaluation of snow depth retrievals from ICESat-2 using airborne laser-scanning data

Abstract ∼ m (bias) and precision of ∼ m (random error) across the basin, with an improved precision of 0.5 m for low slopes (< ∘), compared to eight reference airborne lidar snow depth maps. Snow depths derived from ICESat-2 ATL06 and a satellite photogrammetry digital elevation model have a larger bias and reduced precision, partly induced by increased errors in forested areas. These various combinations of repeated ICESat-2 snow surface elevation measurements with satellite or airborne products will enable tailored approaches to map snow depth and estimate water resource availability in mountainous areas with limited snow depth observations.
