Cap value for snow depth analysis
Snow water equivalent (SWE) in ERA5, ERA5-Snow and ERA5-Land has been validated against in situ observations (snow course in Canada) by Chris Derksen (ECCC). He pointed out that ERA5 and ERA5-Snow don't represent SWE more than 500mm (personal communication). We found it is caused by cap value of 1.4m in snow depth analysis. It has been changed to 3.0m in the latest experiment.
