“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Data-driven Adaptive Thresholding (AT) for snowmelt detection using PMW CETB data.
• AT improves melt detection accuracy to ≤ 1.0 day MAE over legacy methods in Alaska.
• AT captures spatial and regional melt variability linked to snow class and terrain.
• AT is sensor-agnostic, scalable across frequencies and polarizations for broad use..."
