AB  - High-spatial-resolution snow depth data are critical for hydrological, ecological, and disaster research. However, passive microwave snow depth products (10/25 km) no longer meet modern demands for high precision and resolution. This study integrates newly calibrated Enhanced-Resolution Brightness Temperature (CETB) with optical snow cover fraction (SCF) and snow-covered days (SCD) data. Using a deep learning FT-Transformer model, we inverted daily snow depth data at 5 km spatial resolution during snow seasons (October–April) for the Three-River Source region. Compared to China’s long-term snow depth data (25 km), the 5 km snow depth product demonstrates superior accuracy, with RMSE typically below 8.5 cm, providing a reliable foundation for snow resource monitoring in the region.
