Abstract. Snow water equivalent is an important parameter of the surface hydrological and climate systems, and it has a profound impact on Arctic amplification and climate change. However, there are great differences among existing snow water equivalent products. In the Pan-Arctic region, the existing snow water equivalent products are limited time span and limited spatial coverage, and the spatial resolution is coarse, which greatly limits the application of snow water equivalent data in cryosphere change and climate change studies. In this study, utilizing the ridge regression model (RRM) of a machine learning algorithm, we integrated various existing snow water equivalent (SWE) products to generate a spatiotemporally seamless and high-precision RRM SWE product. The results show that it is feasible to utilize a ridge regression model based on a machine learning algorithm to prepare snow water equivalent products on a global scale. We evaluated the accuracy of the RRM SWE product using Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) data and Russian snow survey data. The MAE, RMSE, R, and R2; between the RRM SWE products and observed snow water equivalents are 0.24, 30.29 mm, 0.87, and 0.76, respectively. The accuracy of the RRM SWE dataset is improved by 24 %, 25 %, 32 %, 7 %, and 10 % compared with the original AMSR-E/AMSR2 snow water equivalent dataset, ERA-Interim SWE dataset, Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) SWE dataset, GlobSnow SWE dataset, and ERA5-land SWE dataset, respectively, and it has a higher spatial resolution. The RRM SWE product production method does not rely too much on an independent snow water equivalent product, it makes full use of the advantages of each snow water equivalent dataset, and it considers the altitude factor. The average MAE of RRM SWE product at different altitude intervals is 0.24 and the average RMSE is 23.55 mm, this method has good stability, it is extremely suitable for the production of snow datasets with large spatial scales, and it can be easily extended to the preparation of other snow datasets. The RRM SWE product is expected to provide more accurate snow water equivalent data for the hydrological model and climate model and provide data support for cryosphere change and climate change studies. The RRM SWE product is available from the ‘A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles’ (http://dx.doi.org/10.11888/Snow.tpdc.271556) (Li et al., 2021).
