Snow depth (SD) transects surveyed in the Ice Creek catchment. Transect #1 and transect #2 shows snow depth (solid line) and altitude (m.a.s.l., dashed line) along transect. Mean Depth hoar (DH) ratio are indicated along transects by proportional size. 1a, 1b and 2c contain one observation. See Fig. 2c for their location in the catchment.

Changes in snowpack associated with climatic warming has drastic impacts on surface energy balance in the cryosphere. Yet, traditional monitoring techniques, such as punctual measurements in the field, do not cover the full snowpack spatial and temporal variability, which hampers efforts to upscale measurements to the global scale. This variability...
