Researchers have developed neural networks capable of predicting tropical cyclone wind fields and intensity using geostationary satellite imagery. While synthetic aperture radar (SAR) provides high-resolution wind data, it is often sparse and not available in real-time. The new models leverage continuous cloud-top data from geostationary satellites to estimate surface winds. Ablation studies indicate that jointly predicting both 2D wind fields and scalar intensity metrics from the model's latent space enhances the accuracy of retrieving maximum wind speeds, particularly during rapid intensification events.
