snow cover conditions at Zugspitze with UAS sensors

October 28, 2024

Our UAS team travelled to Umweltforschungsstation Schneefernerhaus at Zugspitze to continue the time-series analysis for landscape analysis using drones. At an average elevation of 2500 meters, the team, Luisa Pflumm, Baturalp Arisoy, Konstantin Müller and Basil Tufail, has done LiDAR and multispectral data acquisition with a drone system that is adapted to high altitude conditions. The mission is aiming to compare Lidar and multispectral data acquisitions with previous field work results to detect snow depth, conditions and the snow dynamics within a period of one month. Therefore, as during the previous missions, snow depth was measured on the study site at the same coordinates as last time. Looking forward to further missions and analyzing the snow dynamics at Zugspitz.
