In this presentation, we show a case study of wind-driven snow redistribution at HEF. Snow redistribution is studied with three DEMs from the TLS data before, shortly after, and 15 hours after a snowfall event. The DEMs are complemented with weather station data and large-eddy simulations using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with a novel snow drift module. The TLS data shows a detailed overview of small-scale snow drift patterns at a horizontal spatial scale of 1 m at the glacier and can also be utilized for detailed model evaluation, leading to improved process understanding.
