New DART framework improves extreme weather detection, challenges existing metrics

This paper introduces DART (Dual Architecture for Regression Tasks), a new framework designed to improve the detection of extreme weather events like convection. Current deep learning models often fail to accurately predict these rare, high-impact events due to flawed evaluation metrics. DART addresses this by transforming coarse weather forecasts into high-resolution satellite brightness temperature fields, optimizing for extreme event detection. The research highlights an "IVT Paradox" where removing Integrated Water Vapor Transport actually enhances extreme convection detection by 270%, and demonstrates DART's superior performance and efficiency compared to existing baselines, validated by the August 2023 Chittagong flooding.

IMPACT This research could lead to more reliable AI systems for predicting and preparing for extreme weather events.
