Neural networks predict cyclone wind fields from satellite imagery

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed simple neural networks capable of predicting tropical cyclone wind fields and intensity from geostationary satellite imagery. These models aim to overcome the limitations of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, which is high-resolution but sparse and not available in real-time. By jointly predicting 2D wind fields and scalar metrics, the neural networks show improved retrieval of maximum wind speeds, particularly during rapid intensification events. AI

IMPACT This research could improve the real-time forecasting of tropical cyclone intensity and wind fields, aiding disaster preparedness.

    Nowcasting of Tropical Cyclone Wind Fields and Intensity from Geostationary Imagery

    arXiv:2611.08255v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-resolution tropical cyclone surface wind speeds derived from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observations can support storm structure and intensity modelling, but remain spatially and temporally sparse and unavailable near-real-…
