Short summary
Understanding snow depth on sea ice is key for measuring ice thickness, studying ecosystems, and modelling climate. Using snow and ice thickness measurements from Arctic and Antarctic campaigns, this study examines sub-kilometre-scale (<1  km²) snow depth variations and identifies the most suitable statistical models for different ice ages, thicknesses, and weather conditions. These results can improve sub-grid snow parameterisations in snow models and remote sensing algorithms.
