Summary

The Swiss Alpine Research Group (SwissTLM) collaborated with GLAMOS and ETH Zurich to standardize Glimmer and Ice data for the SwissGletscherInventory, but this foundation is insufficient for future glacier monitoring. Without understanding the specific history and technical details of the ALTI3D database, such comparisons are impractical and cannot provide reliable baselines for long-term glacier analysis. The authors recommend that users focus on the GLAMOS module within GLAMOS first, which offers more accessible and reliable methods for comparing current GLAMOS ice thicknesses with established reference datasets like Glimmers and Ice, while avoiding the pitfalls of attempting direct ALTI3D comparisons from scratch.
