Thursday, 16 January 2025: 3:00 PM-4:30 PM
Hall C (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Hosts: (Joint between the 24th Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Environmental Science; and the 33rd Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting (WAF)/29th Conference on Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) )
Cochairs:
Kaitlyn R. Jesmonth, SUNY Oswego, Oswego, NY; Aaron J. Hill, Colorado State University, Atmospheric Science, Fort Collins, CO; Huiling Yuan, Nanjing University, School of Atmospheric Sciences, Nanjing and Haonan Chen, Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), Boulder, CO

Deep learning has transformed meteorology by greatly improving the accuracy, resolution, and reliability of weather forecasts. This session provides a platform to discuss recent advances in deep learning methods for weather forecasting, focusing on innovations in prediction accuracy, downscaling, bias correction, integration with traditional numerical models, and cutting-edge applications. It will also explore emerging trends in deep learning techniques for weather forecasting. Discussion topics include, but are not limited to:

  1. Deep Learning Models for Weather Forecasting: Advances in deep learning models that improve forecast accuracy and reliability, including novel architectures, data assimilation, probabilistic forecasts, and data-driven and hybrid models.
  2. Downscaling Methods: Deep learning-based approaches downscale coarse-resolution weather data to create finer, localized forecasts for more precise predictions.
  3. Bias Correction Techniques: Deep learning methods for reducing biases in weather forecasts include calibration, error correction, and observational data integration.
  4. Integration with Numerical Weather Prediction Models: Combining deep learning with traditional numerical weather prediction models enhances forecast accuracy and predictive capabilities.
  5. Applications and Case Studies: Practical applications of deep learning in weather forecasting, such as disaster preparedness, climate modeling, and agricultural planning. Case studies showcase the transformative impact of these methods across various sectors.
