Estimation of Maximum Daily Fresh Snow Accumulation Using an Artificial Neural Network Model by Gun Lee, Dongkyun Kim, Hyun-Han Kwon, Eunsoo Choi

“…The difference in correlation coefficients between the two methods implies that, while the ANN model itself has good performance, a significant portion of the uncertainty of the estimated MDFSA at ungauged locations comes from high spatial variability of the input variables that cannot be captured by the network of in situ gauges. However, these correlation coefficients were significantly greater than the correlation coefficient obtained by spatially interpolating the MDFSA values with the OK method (R = 0.20). …”
