Fan and Meng Develop New Machine Learning Snowfall Detection Algorithm
ESSIC/CISESS scientists Huan Meng and Yongzhen Fan have recently developed a new machine learning snowfall detection (SD) algorithm, based on eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB). The algorithm was developed for the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) onboard NPP and NOAA-20 as well as the MHS/AMSU-A onboard Metop-A, Metop-B, Metop-C and NOAA-19.
