Abstract
Concern about rainfall increase due to climate change and other factors is growing, inexpensive and easy-to-use rainfall forecasting methods are required. Therefore, this study developed a rainfall forecasting model using a neural network that uses readily available weather information such as cloud images, precipitation, and humidity. The proposed model achieved 89% accuracy for 24-hour-ahead classification, exceeding the 85% accuracy of the Japan Meteorological Agency.(JMA) In addition, by focusing on the seasonality of weather and introducing time information into the forecast model, the stability of the forecast was improved. Finally, a rainfall forecast model was developed and simulated by applying AdaBelief to EfficientNetV2+Bi-LSTM. Consequently, the accuracy of both 2-hour and 24-hour-forecasts exceeded the forecast precision of the previous study and the JMA. In particular, the 24-hour-ahead rainfall forecast precision was improved by more than 10% compared to the previous research, indicating a significant improvement in precision.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
