Researchers have developed a new probabilistic forecasting framework to predict vegetation dynamics using sparse satellite data and weather information. This approach addresses challenges posed by irregular satellite sampling and varying climatic conditions. The framework separates historical NDVI and meteorological data encoding, fusing them for multi-step predictions and incorporating a temporal-distance weighted quantile loss to handle uncertainty. Experiments show improved performance over existing methods, with historical vegetation data being the primary driver of accuracy. AI
