• Title: Statistical Post-processing for Gridded Temperature Forecasts Using Encoder-Decoder Based Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
• Authors: Atsushi Kudo
• Abstract summary: Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has been operating gridded temperature guidance for predicting snow amount and precipitation type. It has been difficult to correct a temperature field when NWP models did not predict the location of a front correctly or when the observed temperature was extremely cold or hot. In this paper, encoder-decoder-based convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were employed to predict temperatures at the surface around the Kanto district.

• Abstract: Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has been operating gridded temperature guidance for predicting snow amount and precipitation type because those elements are susceptible to a temperature at the surface. The operational temperature guidance is based on the Kalman filter technique and uses temperature observation and NWP outputs only at observation sites; it has been difficult to correct a temperature field when NWP models did not predict the location of a front correctly or when the observed temperature was extremely cold or hot. In the present paper, encoder-decoder-based convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were employed to predict gridded temperatures at the surface around the Kanto district. The verification results showed that the proposed method improves operational guidance significantly and can correct NWP model biases, including a positional error of fronts and extreme temperatures.

  It is challenging to place sensors in a way that maximises the informativeness of their measurements, particularly in remote regions like Antarctica. Probabilistic machine learning models can suggest informative sensor placements by finding sites that maximally reduce prediction uncertainty. This paper proposes using a convolutional Gaussian neural process (ConvGNP) to address these issues.
