MULTI-CAMERA GEOMETRIC CALIBRATION: PRE-CALIBRATION AND ON-THE-JOB CALIBRATION OF THE MAIA MULTISPECTRAL SYSTEM

Precipitation tends to increase with elevation, but the magnitude and distribution of this enhancement remain poorly understood. By leveraging over 11 000 spatially distributed, manual measurements of snow depth (snow courses) upstream of two reservoirs in the western European Alps, we show that these courses bear a characteristic signature of orographic precipitation. This opens a window of opportunity for improved modeling accuracy and, ultimately, our understanding of the water budget.
