The method combines observations from the French Alpine region rain gauges and precipitation estimates from weather radars with background information from short-range nu- merical weather prediction forecasts in an optimal way. The performance of this technique is evaluated using measurements of precipitation and of snow depth during two years (2012/13 and 2013/14). It is shown that the 1DVar model allows an effective assimilation of measurements of different types, including rain gauge and radar-derived precipitation. The use of radar-derived precipitation rates over mountains to force the nu- merical snowpack model Crocus significantly reduces the bias and standard deviation with respect to in- dependent snow depth observations. The improvement is particularly significant for large rainfall or snowfall events, which are decisive for avalanche hazard forecasting. The use of radar-derived precipitation rates at an hourly time step improves the time series of precipitation analyses and has a positive impact on simulated snow depths.

In this paper we demonstrate how spatial modelling co-produced with Iconic biodiversity managers can support the assessment of interactions between two cultural services: outdoor recreation and iconic Physical and psychological experiences terrestrial vertebrates. In two French national parks (Ecrins and Vanoise) we showed clear seasonal differentiation Supporting identities in spatial patterns for potential iconic vertebrate diversity, recreation opportunities and their interactions. Our first Nature protection hypothesis that limited access and mobility of recreationists during winter would increase potential wildlife refugia Seasonality Ecosystem service maps was largely validated for Ecrins. Our second hypothesis that lower but spatially diffuse pressure from recreationists in Ecrins would increase potential interference as compared to more intense but directed activity in Vanoise was consistent with patterns in summer. For winter the spatial concentration of recreation around ski resorts of Vanoise was highly impactful. Across both parks concerns about the expansion of winter activities are legitimate, especially for climate-sensitive species. We also showed the critical role of refuge areas in high valleys (summer) and lower slopes away from tracks (winter), highlighting threats from off-track practices.
