Discernment of crustal deformation caused by snow-cover load using the functional model. a Vertical component of normal value of deviation from the functional model in early March. The red dashed line represents a contour of − 0.05 cm. Blue lines represent the location, where the average annual maximum snowfall is 100 cm (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism 2012). Black squares represent GNSS stations used in this study. b Horizontal component of normal value of deviation from the functional model in early March. Blue areas represent locations, where the average annual maximum snowfall is > 100 cm. Both figures use the average values for 10 days around March 11 of each year from 2012 to 2020 (excluding 2015).
