Temporal and spatial satellite data augmentation for deep learning-based rainfall nowcasting
Problem
Improving short-term rainfall prediction is needed because climate-change-induced flash floods and severe flooding are increasing.
Why it matters
Flash floods threaten lives and property in flood-prone regions like Türkiye's Marmara and Black Sea areas.
What the AI did
Used a ConvLSTM deep learning model with NASA Giovanni satellite precipitation data, augmented via eight interpolation techniques (spatial, temporal, spatio-temporal), to nowcast rainfall for two flood case studies.
Results
not stated in source
Impact
Evidence only supports that the comparative nowcasting study was conducted; no measured outcome is stated.
