摘要
En 中文
Infrared (IR) information is fundamental to global precipitation estimation. Although researchers have developed numerous IR-based retrieval algorithms, there is still plenty of scope for promoting their accuracy. This article develops a novel deep learning-based algorithm entitled infrared precipitation estimation using a convolutional neural network (IPEC). Based on the five-channel IR data, the IPEC first identifies the precipitation occurrence and then estimates the precipitation rates at hourly and 0.04 degrees x 0.04 degrees resolutions. The performance of the IPEC is validated using the Stage-IV radar-gauge-combined data and compared to the Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks-Cloud Classification System (PERSIANN-CCS) in three subregions over the continental United States (CONUS). The results show that the five-channel input is more efficient in precipitation estimation than the commonly used one-channel input. The IPEC estimates based on the five-channel input show better statistical performance than the PERSIANN-CCS with 34.9% gain in Pearson's correlation coefficient (CC), 38.0% gain in relative bias (BIAS), and 45.2% gain in mean squared error (MSE) during the testing period from June to August 2014 over the central CONUS. Furthermore, the optimized IPEC model is applied in totally independent periods and regions, and still achieves significantly better performance than the PERSIANN-CCS, indicating that the IPEC has a stronger generalization capability. On the whole, this article proves the effectiveness of the convolutional neural network (CNN) combined with the physical multichannel inputs in IR precipitation retrieval. This end-to-end deep learning algorithm shows the potential for serving as an operational technique that can be applied globally and provides a new perspective for the future development of satellite precipitation retrievals.
