Short summary
The Sentinel-1 C-band product (C-snow) has been widely used as reference data across various scales, but its reliability remains unknown. This study systematically evaluates its performance at 1, 10, and 25 km scales using ground-based measurements and airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Its performance varies with forest cover, topography, permanent ice, and wet snow. Errors increase with scale relative to stations but decrease compared with LiDAR observations.
