• Abstract summary: The solar magnetized corona is responsible for various manifestations with a space weather impact such as flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and, naturally, the solar wind. We demonstrate that generative deep learning methods, such as Denoising Probabilistic Models (DDPM), can be successfully applied to simulate future evolutions of the corona.

• Abstract: The solar magnetized corona is responsible for various manifestations with a space weather impact, such as flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and, naturally, the solar wind. Modeling the corona's dynamics and evolution is therefore critical for improving our ability to predict space weather In this work, we demonstrate that generative deep learning methods, such as Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM), can be successfully applied to simulate future evolutions of the corona as observed in Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths. Our model takes a 12-hour video of an Active Region (AR) as input and simulate the potential evolution of the AR over the subsequent 12 hours, with a time-resolution of two hours. We propose a light UNet backbone architecture adapted to our problem by adding 1D temporal convolutions after each classical 2D spatial ones, and spatio-temporal attention in the bottleneck part. The model not only produce visually realistic outputs but also captures the inherent stochasticity of the system's evolution. Notably, the simulations enable the generation of reliable confidence intervals for key predictive metrics such as the EUV peak flux and fluence of the ARs, paving the way for probabilistic and interpretable space weather forecasting. Future studies will focus on shorter forecasting horizons with increased spatial and temporal resolution, aiming at reducing the uncertainty of the simulations and providing practical applications for space weather forecasting.

  Precipitation nowcasting is an important task to predict the radar echoes sequences based on current observations, which can serve both meteorological science and smart city applications. Previous studies address the problem either from the perspectives of deterministic modeling or probabilistic modeling. We propose to decompose and model the chaotic evolutionary precipitation systems from the perspective of global deterministic motion and local variations with residual mechanism.

  Time series forecasting has been a widely explored task of great importance in many applications. It is common that real-world time series data are recorded in a short time period, which results in a big gap between the deep model and the limited and noisy time series. We propose to address the time series forecasting problem with generative modeling and propose a bidirectional variational auto-encoder equipped with diffusion, denoise, and disentanglement.

We show that DISTANA, when combined with a retrospective latent state inference principle called active tuning, can reliably derive location-respective hidden causal factors.
