Using a fixed-wing UAS to map snow depth distribution: an evaluation at peak accumulation

We investigate snow depth distribution at peak accumulation over a small Alpine area ( ∼  0.3 km<sup>2</sup>) using photogrammetry-based surveys with a fixed-wing unmanned aerial system (UAS). These devices are growing in popularity as inexpensive alternatives to existing techniques with...
