AB  - High spatial resolution snow depth is essential for hydrological, ecological and disaster studies. However, passive microwave snow depth products (10/25 km) are no longer able to meet the modern high-precision and high-resolution requirements due to their coarse spatial resolution. In this study, the latest calibrated enhanced-resolution brightness-temperature-to-optical snow area ratio and the number of snow-covered days were integrated to invert the daily snow depth data at 5 km spatial resolution during the snowy period (October to April) at the Three-River Source region based on the deep learning FT-Transformer model. Compared with the long time series snow depth data (25 km) in China, the inverted 5 km snow depth has better accuracy, and the RMSE is usually below 8.5 cm. It provides a reliable data base for monitoring snow resources in the Three-River Source region.
