摘要:

极端降水在世界各地造成严重破坏,造成数十亿美元的损失,并使社区、生态系统和经济连根拔起。准确的极端降水预测可以为此类极端事件的准备和灾害风险管理提供更多时间。在本文中,我们专注于短期极端降水预报(提前12小时的时间预测)从一系列的海平面气压和纬向风异常。虽然现有的机器学习方法已经显示出有希望的结果,但相关的模型和气候不确定性可能会降低其可靠性。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一种用于极端降水预测的自注意增强卷积机制,系统地将注意力分数与传统卷积相结合,以丰富特征数据并减少结果的预期误差。所提出的网络架构进一步融合了高速公路神经网络层,以获得跨几个层的畅通无阻的信息流的好处。我们的实验结果表明,该框架的性能比经典卷积模型高出12%。所提出的方法增加了机器学习作为一种工具,用于深入了解极端变化的物理原因,降低未来预测的不确定性。

英文摘要:

Extreme precipitation wreaks havoc throughout the world, causing billions of dollars in damage and uprooting communities, ecosystems, and economies. Accurate extreme precipitation prediction allows more time for preparation and disaster risk management for such extreme events. In this paper, we focus on short-term extreme precipitation forecasting (up to a 12-hour ahead-of-time prediction) from a sequence of sea level pressure and zonal wind anomalies. Although existing machine learning approaches have shown promising results, the associated model and climate uncertainties may reduce their reliability. To address this issue, we propose a self-attention augmented convolution mechanism for extreme precipitation forecasting, systematically combining attention scores with traditional convolutions to enrich feature data and reduce the expected errors of the results. The proposed network architecture is further fused with a highway neural network layer to gain the benefits of unimpeded information flow across several layers. Our experimental results show that the framework outperforms classical convolutional models by 12%. The proposed method increases machine learning as a tool for gaining insights into the physical causes of changing extremes, lowering uncertainty in future forecasts.
