Abstract
Abstract. Precise estimates of Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) are crucial for informed decision-making in regions like Northern Canada, where snow cover significantly contributes to springtime discharge. However, the sparse nature of the existing SWE monitoring network poses a challenge to comprehensively understanding the SWE distribution and variability. Reanalysis products like ERA5-Land provide long-term continuous SWE estimates, but our evaluation identified a negative bias (-61 mm) in the estimated SWE and maximum underestimation was observed at high elevation (>1500 m) areas. To correct these biases, we applied four correction methods: Mean Bias Subtraction (MBS), Simple Linear Regression (SLR), Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), and Random Forest (RF). RF exhibited the highest performance, reducing the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) by 78 % and minimizing the annual mean bias from 61.2 mm to 0.01 mm. However, RF did not produce reliable SWE estimates for unseen spatial and temporal domains due to its limitation of not extrapolating beyond the training data.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
