The paper presents a novel approach for classifying supraglacial lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet using Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and Reconstructed Phase Spaces (RPSs). The method is designed to identify three types of lake dynamics: refreezing, draining, and burial. By leveraging time series data from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites, the RPS-GMM model achieves an accuracy of 85.46% with Sentinel-1 data alone and 89.70% with combined data. This performance surpasses existing machine learning and deep learning models that require large training datasets.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper is about a new way to study lakes on top of the Greenland Ice Sheet using computer algorithms. The goal is to understand how these lakes change over time, and the method uses satellite images from two different types of sensors. The approach is good at identifying three main types of lake behavior: when they freeze back up in the winter, when they drain completely during the summer, or when they get buried under snow and stay liquid underneath. This method is better than others because it can work with just a little bit of training data.
