Chapter 2: Mapping Snow-Covered Area (SCA) Using Machine Learning and High-Resolution Satellite Imagery
Snow is an important component in the Earth’s hydrological and energy cycles. This Jupyter book focuses on mapping snow-covered areas (SCA) using machine learning models and high-resolution satellite imagery, particularly from Planet small satellites. The chapter covers the challenges of SCA mapping, the use of machine learning models, and provides a workflow and tutorial materials for educational purposes. All scripts and datasets are available in the accompanying GitHub Repository.
- Significance of SCA in Earth's processes and climate change
- Limitations of mapping SCA with optical satellite imagery
- Potential of high-resolution satellite imagery from Planet small satellites
- Machine Learning Approach for SCA Mapping:
- Data preparation, parameter tuning, model selection, and evaluation
- Workflow and Tutorial Materials:
