We characterize elevational gradients, probability distributions, and scaling patterns of lidar‐
derived snow depth at the hillslope scale along the extratropical Andes. Specifically, we
analyze snow depth maps acquired near the date of maximum accumulation in 2018 at
three experimental sites:(i) the Tascadero catchment (31.26° S, 3,270–3,790 m),(ii) the Las
Bayas catchment (33.31° S, 3,218–4,022 m); and (iii) the Valle Hermoso (VH) catchment
(36.91° S, 1,449–2,563 m). We examine two subdomains in the latter site: one with (VH …
