Abstract
- Snow and cloud discrimination is a main factor contributing to errors in satellite-based snow cover. To address the error, satellite-based snow cover performs snow reclassification tests on the cloud pixels of the cloud mask, but the error still remains. Machine Learning (ML) has recently been applied to remote sensing to calculate satellite-based meteorological data, and its utility has been demonstrated. In this study, snow and cloud discrimination errors were analyzed for GK-2A/AMI snow cover, and ML models (Random Forest and Deep Neural Network) were applied to accurately distinguish snow and clouds. The ML-based snow reclassified was integrated with the GK-2A/AMI snow cover through post-processing. We used the S-NPP/VIIRS snow cover and ASOS in situ snow observation data, which are satellite-based snow cover and ground truth data, as validation data to evaluate whether the snow/cloud discrimination is improved. The ML-based integrated snow cover detected 33–53% more snow compared to the GK-2A/AMI snow cover. In terms of performance, the F1-score and overall accuracy of the GK-2A/AMI snow cover was 73.06% and 89.99%, respectively, and those of the integrated snow cover were 76.78–78.28% and 90.93–91.26%, respectively.
