Gridded projections of snow depth for Switzerland
Datasets
This dataset contains gridded snow depth projections for Switzerland at 1km X 1km resolution. This study was supported by Speed2Zero. The dataset contains the following structure: - data/data_reference/hs_reference_1991_2020.nc - data/data_projection_flat/hs_projection_flat.nc - data/data_projection_aspect/hs_projection_aspect.nc The data is based on climatological SPASS dataset (Marty et al., 2015) using the reference period 1991-2020. For this reference data, median snow depth evolution, as well as 5th and 95th percentile were computed for each grid point and can be found in this dataset (data/data_reference/*). Future snow depth evolutions for the flat field (data/data_projection_flat/*) were projected for the temperature scenarios +1°C, +2°C, +3°C and +4°C (deviation from 1991-2020 annual mean temperature in Switzerland) following the literature-based approach of Richter and Marty, 2026. Furthermore, this dataset contains gridded projections for north- and south-facing ascpects with a slope anle of 15° (data/data_projection_aspect/*). Detailed can be found in the related publication Richter et al., in preparation. The files in this data set have a similar structure. Each file i
