LiDAR measurement of seasonal snow accumulation along an elevation gradient in the southern Sierra Nevada, California
We present results from snow-on and snow-off airborne-scanning LiDAR measurements over a 53 km<sup>2</sup> area in the southern Sierra Nevada. We found that snow depth as a function of elevation increased approximately 15 cm per 100 m, until reaching an elevation of 3300 m, where depth s...
