Short summary
Our study presents a method to estimate high-resolution snow water equivalent (HR-SWE) using low-resolution climate data (LR-CD). By using a data-driven approach, we analyze historical weather patterns from LR-CD to generate HR-SWE maps. Machine learning and statistical relationships between LR-CD and HR-SWE enable estimation for dates without HR-SWE data. This method enhances water resource management and climate impact assessments, especially in data-scarce regions.
