SnowDepth_Derived_Products_NorthernXinjiang

This dataset contains orthophotos (DOM), digital elevation models (DEM), snow depth rasters, and slope data for the study area in northern Xinjiang, China, derived from ground-airborne-satellite collaborative observations.Winter and summer DOM and DEM products were generated from UAV imagery and airborne LiDAR data. Snow depth was estimated by subtracting the summer DEM from winter ICESat-2 ATL06 elevation measurements within defined spatial windows. Slope was calculated from the summer DEM.The dataset supports research on snow depth estimation, cryospheric change monitoring, and geospatial analysis, and can be used for validating remote sensing–derived snow products or for environmental modeling in alpine regions.Data contents:Winter DOM & DEM (GeoTIFF, WGS84 / UTM zone 45N)Summer DOM & DEM (GeoTIFF, WGS84 / UTM zone 45N)Snow depth raster (GeoTIFF, WGS84 / UTM zone 45N)Summer slope raster (GeoTIFF, WGS84 / UTM zone 45N)This dataset was generated for the study "Monitoring Snow Depth with ICESat-2: A Synergistic Multi-Scale Framework Integrating Ground–Airborne–Satellite Observations in Northern Xinjiang, China" and is intended to be openly shared for scientific use.
