Schematic diagram of measurement errors associated with overestimation of snow depth (a) and underestimation of snow depth (b) in a typical tundra snowpack (modified from Stuefer et al., 2020). Both issues exist in the boreal forest in some cases: (a) often and (b) sometimes. Another source of measurement error in forested areas is associated with air voids due to an elevated snowpack, suspended by vegetation (c).
