TL;DR: In this article, the Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) used a coupled imaging spectrometer and scanning lidar, combined with distributed snow modeling, developed for the measurement of snow spectral albedo/broadband albedos and snow depth/SWE.

TL;DR: In this paper, terrain-based parameters are developed to characterize wind effects in exposed alpine regions, and a drift delineator parameter, D0, is used to delineate sites of intense redeposition on lee slopes.

TL;DR: In this paper, digital terrain analysis was employed to quantify aspects of the upwind topography related to wind shelter and exposure, to efficiently develop a distributed time-series of snow accumulation rates and wind speeds to force a distributed snow model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial correlation of model residuals for a variable mean model, incorporating the spatial correlations into the optimization of the deterministic trend, and producing smooth estimate maps that may extrapolate above and below measured values.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the variability of incoming solar radiation data with respect to canopy structure and cloudiness, and correlate measured solar radiation transmission with predicted solar transmission based on analysis of hemispherical photographs, and examine the impact of measured and predicted transmission factors on the seasonal net radiative exchanges and snow ablation.
