青藏高原寒潮预报的深度学习融合订正模型

A deep learning-based fusion correction model for cold wave forecasting over the Qingzang Plateau

  • 摘要: 过去20余年,数值天气预报模式与新一代人工智能气象模型(简称AI气象模型)在提升中期天气预报精度方面取得了显著进展。然而,受限于模式内在的不确定性及对复杂地形的模拟能力不足,二者在预报青藏高原等复杂地形区域的极端天气事件时,仍普遍存在预报强度偏低的系统性偏差。本研究以2023年12月14日发生的强寒潮事件为例,系统对比了传统数值模式、AI气象模型以及多模式集合预报在近地表气温预报上的表现,并针对其局限性提出了一种基于swin transformer架构与位置编码的融合订正(swin transformer fusion,STF)模型。结果显示,传统模式与AI气象模型在捕捉温度异常的空间分布上表现良好,但会低估极端低温的强度;多模式集合平均预报虽能在一定程度上提升空间相关系数,但在预报极端低温的范围与强度方面,其性能仍有待提升。本研究提出的STF模型通过引入位置编码约束,实现了多模式预报的协同优化,融合数值模式与AI气象模型在特定时空尺度上的优势特征。结果表明,在此次寒潮事件的峰值阶段,STF模型将预报的均方根误差最高降低了39.62%,尤其在预报误差敏感区域效果更为显著。STF模型通过引入动态择优-误差对冲机制,实现了对多模式优势的有效融合,不仅提升了预报精度,而且在应对极端天气事件时显现出良好的工程鲁棒性。该研究为高海拔地区寒潮灾害的预警提供了新的技术路径,为极端天气预报贡献了新思路,展现出广阔的应用前景。

     

    Abstract: In the past two decades, both numerical weather prediction (NWP) models and AI-based large meteorological models have significantly improved the accuracy of medium-range weather forecasting. However, due to inherent model uncertainties and inadequate simulations over complex terrain areas, these models systematically underestimate extreme weather intensity in topographically challenging regions like the Qingzang Plateau. This study evaluates the performance of traditional NWP models, large meteorological models, and multi-model ensemble forecasts in predicting near-surface air temperature based on the case study of the 14 December 2023 cold wave event. Results indicate that while traditional NWP and large meteorological models effectively capture spatial patterns of temperature anomalies, they consistently underestimate extreme cold intensity. Although the multi-model ensemble mean can improve the spatial correlation coefficient to some extent, its performance in predicting the scope and intensity of extreme low temperatures still needs improvement. To address these limitations, we propose a swin transformer fusion (STF) model that incorporates positional encoding. This framework enables synergistic optimization of multi-model forecasts by systematically extracting and integrating the strengths of NWP and large meteorological models at specific spatiotemporal scales. During the cold wave's peak phase, STF reduces the forecast root mean square error by up to 39.62%, with notable improvements particularly in error-sensitive regions. The model's dynamic preference-error hedging mechanism effectively combines the multi-model advantages, enhancing both forecast accuracy and operational robustness for extreme weather events. This work advances cold wave early warning systems for high-altitude regions, introduces novel methodologies for extreme weather prediction, and demonstrates promising practical applications.
