地下地层蕴含极地冰盖沉积、变形与层状形成的重要时空信息。冰层厚度变化为雪量平衡估算和冰盖演变预测提供关键约束。尽管雷达传感器可获取深度分辨的雷达图像,但直接应用于图像的卷积神经网络易受斑点噪声和采集伪影干扰。纯数据驱动方法可能忽视物理规律,在空间或时间外推时产生不合理的厚度估计。为此,我们提出K-STEMIT,一种新型知识引导的高效多分支时空图神经网络,融合空间几何框架与时间卷积以捕捉动态变化,并整合来自Model Atmospheric Regional物理气象模型的同步物理数据。采用自适应特征融合策略动态结合各分支特征。大量实验表明,相比当前先进方法,K-STEMIT在知识引导与非引导设置下均达到最高精度,且效率接近最优。尤其,引入自适应融合与物理先验使均方根误差降低21.01%,额外计算成本可忽略。此外,该模型年均相对MAE持续更低,实现大区域范围内雪积累变率的可靠连续时空评估。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Subsurface stratigraphy contains important spatio-temporal information about accumulation, deformation, and layer formation in polar ice sheets. In particular, variations in internal ice layer thickness provide valuable constraints for snow mass balance estimation and projections of ice sheet change. Although radar sensors can capture these layered structures as depth-resolved radargrams, convolutional neural networks applied directly to radar images are often sensitive to speckle noise and acquisition artifacts. In addition, purely data-driven methods may underuse physical knowledge, leading to unrealistic thickness estimates under spatial or temporal extrapolation. To address these challenges, we develop K-STEMIT, a novel knowledge-informed, efficient, multi-branch spatio-temporal graph neural network that combines a geometric framework for spatial learning with temporal convolution to capture temporal dynamics, and incorporates physical data synchronized from the Model Atmospheric Regional physical weather model. An adaptive feature fusion strategy is employed to dynamically combine features learned from different branches. Extensive experiments have been conducted to compare K-STEMIT against current state-of-the-art methods in both knowledge-informed and non-knowledge-informed settings, as well as other existing methods. Results show that K-STEMIT consistently achieves the highest accuracy while maintaining near-optimal efficiency. Most notably, incorporating adaptive feature fusion and physical priors reduces the root mean-squared error by 21.01% with negligible additional cost compared to its conventional multi-branch variants. Additionally, our proposed K-STEMIT achieves consistently lower per-year relative MAE, enabling reliable, continuous spatiotemporal assessment of snow accumulation variability across large spatial regions.
