Snow depth meter wrong

[Kryštof Popela]

Same as in the in past Snow depth bug report here, in Alps there Are regions with said 4+m depth covering Area of dozens od maybe hundreds km². Even in summer. There must be something wrong with these mesurments.

First, the data of Snow depth in Windy is not measurement. It is a forecast by a weather model.
Then I guess you are using the ECMWF model which is the default model in the app.
This model has a resolution of 9km and, same all global weather models, a poor orography model.
So obviously this data is wrong in the Alps.
Have you look at ICON-D2 with a 2.2km resolution? You’ll understand the effect of resolution in mountains.

See a related thread and this one.

And to better understand the effect of resolution in mountain see this topic.
