Improved snow depth retrieval over Arctic sea ice from FY-3 satellites using machine learning and its future scenario projection
Snowpack atop sea ice plays a vital role in the Arctic heat and energy balance by reducing the energy transfer between the atmosphere and the ocean. This study presents an improved snow depth retrieval model over Arctic multiyear ice (MYI) from the Microwave Radiometer Imager (MWRI) data of the Fengyun-3 (FY-3) series satellites using the optimal machine learning approach identified.
