The snow-depth data were investigated according to the values measured all over Japan on February 6, 2006; consequently, 1917 points were collected. Heavy snow areas (depth of over 3m) were found mainly in the inland mountainous regions bordering the Sea of Japan. The highest snow-depth value was 5m around Echigo-Sanzan. The snow depth uniformly increased with an increase in the altitude in all the regions bordering the Sea of Japan; however, the ratios of the increases in the snow depth to the altitude were different. The snow depths in Yamagata and Niigata prefectures remained unchanged at over 300m a.s.l. These results can be attributed to the consolidation of the snowpack as a result of both the high snowfall loading and long duration of snow covering. In the Niigata prefecture, a pattern of peak values was observed at higher altitudes during other heavy snowfall occurrences as well, which implies that such altitudinal distribution of the snow depth was not limited only during the 2005-2006 winter. In the heavy snowfall area located in inland mountainous region, the snow-depth distribution at 315 points (measured by the Japan Meteorological Agency) was estimated to be smaller than the values in our data for a ddepth of above 1m; therefore, it might be impossible to exactly understand the snow-depth distribution including the maldistribution of the snowpacks in inland mountainous regions.}, pages = {45--52}, title = {平成18年豪雪における積雪深分布の特徴}, volume = {69}, year = {2007} }
