European Space Agency (ESA) Global Snow Water Equivalent Monitoring, 1979-2013
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The efforts of the European Space Agency (ESA) Data User Element (DUE) funded GlobSnow project has resulted in two new hemispherical records of snow parameters intended for climate research purposes. The dataset contains satellite-retrieved information on snow water equivalent (SWE) extending 34 years. The record on snow water equivalent is produced using a combination of passive microwave radiometer and ground-based weather station data, spanning years 1979 to 2013. The GlobSnow SWE record, based on methodology by Pulliainen (Pulliainen 2006, Takala et al. 2011) utilizes a data-assimilation based approach combining space-borne passive radiometer data (SMMR, SSM/I and SSMIS) with data from ground-based synoptic weather stations. The satellite sensors utilized provide data at K- and Ka-bands (19 GigaHertz and 37 GigaHertz respectively) at a spatial resolution of approximately 25 kilometers (km). The SWE record is produced on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. SWE information is provided for terrestrial non-mountainous regions of Northern Hemisphere, excluding glaciers and Greenland.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
