Passive microwave remote sensing is a valuable tool for snow depth estimation. However, accurate retrieval limited by nonlinear relationships between the and passive brightness temperature (TB) that are caused physical properties, underlying surface type, topographical factors. Our study aims to enhance estimation in Northern Xinjiang (NX), China, utilizing Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 TB data (with resolution of 0.1 deg) fractional cover products through combination wavelet transform two artificial neural network (ANN) models: feedforward (FFNN) generalized regression (GRNN). The hybrid models were trained validated using situ observations from 44 stations across NX. Results indicate applying reduces root-mean-square error (RMSE) 28.88% FFNN. In season 2013 2014, Wavelet-GRNN (RMSE: 7.36 cm, NSE: 0.59, R: 0.78, bias: 1.68 cm) outperforms Wavelet-FFNN 8.26 0.48, 0.75, 1.69 10.90%. exhibits superior performance, up 13.78% than complex topographic areas like Xiaoquzi station. addition, spatial–temporal estimations demonstrate surpass three well-known alleviate issues excessively high or low values These findings underscore effectiveness combining ANNs, integrating auxiliary data, mountainous regions.
