A Snowfall Detection Algorithm for Fengyun-3D Microwave Sounders with Differentiated Atmospheric Temperature Conditions
Precipitation in different phases has varying effects on runoff. However, monitoring surface snowfall poses a significant challenge, highlighting the importance of developing a snowfall detection algorithm. The objective of this study is develop a snowfall detection algorithm for the Microwave Temperature Sounder-2 (MWTS-II) and the Microwave Humidity Sounder-2 (MWHS-II) onboard the FY-3D satellite while considering the differentiated atmosphere temperature conditions. The results show that: (1) The brightness temperature (TB) of MWTS Channel 3 is well-suited for pre-classifying atmospheric temperatures, and significant differences in TB distribution exist between the two pre-classification subsets. (2) Among six machine classifiers examined, the random forest classifier exhibits favorable classification performance on both the validation set (accuracy: 0.76, recall: 0.76, F1 score: 0.75) and test set (accuracy: 0.80, recall: 0.44, F1 score: 0.44). (3) The application of the snowfall detection algorithm showcases a reasonable spatial distribution and outperforms the IMERG and ERA5 snowfall data.
