Snow Depth

Snow depth is the total depth of the snowpack. It allows to estimate the amount of snow covering the ground.

Snow depth and snow water equivalent are two linked variables. They are both very important variables for different applications such as water stocks monitoring and flood events forecasting.

Snow depth can be manually measured or estimated through non-contact devices from ground-level or space.
