• Abstract summary: We introduce Graph Dual-streamtemporal Conal Attention Fusion (GD-CAF) to learn from historical graph of precipitation maps and nowcast future time step ahead. GD-CAF consists of gated-temporal convolutional attention as well as fusion modules equipped with depthwise-separable convolutional operations. We evaluate our model seven years of precipitation maps across Europe and its neighboring areas collected from the ERA5 dataset.

• Abstract: Accurate precipitation nowcasting is essential for various applications, including flood prediction, disaster management, optimizing agricultural activities, managing transportation routes and renewable energy. While several studies have addressed this challenging task from a sequence-to-sequence perspective, most of them have focused on a single area without considering the existing correlation between multiple disjoint regions. In this paper, we formulate precipitation nowcasting as a spatiotemporal graph sequence nowcasting problem. In particular, we introduce Graph Dual-stream Convolutional Attention Fusion (GD-CAF), a novel approach designed to learn from historical spatiotemporal graph of precipitation maps and nowcast future time step ahead precipitation at different spatial locations. GD-CAF consists of spatio-temporal convolutional attention as well as gated fusion modules which are equipped with depthwise-separable convolutional operations. This enhancement enables the model to directly process the high-dimensional spatiotemporal graph of precipitation maps and exploits higher-order correlations between the data dimensions. We evaluate our model on seven years of precipitation maps across Europe and its neighboring areas collected from the ERA5 dataset, provided by Copernicus Climate Change Services. The experimental results reveal the superior performance of the GD-CAF model compared to the other examined models. Additionally, visualizations of averaged seasonal spatial and temporal attention scores across the test set offer valuable insights into the most robust connections between diverse regions or time steps.
