Deep Learning for Hurricane Track Forecasting from Aligned Spatio-temporal Climate Datasets
Abstract
The forecast of hurricane trajectories is crucial for the protection of people and property, but machine learning techniques have been scarce for this so far. We propose a neural network fusing past trajectory data and reanalysis atmospheric images (wind and pressure 3D fields). We used a moving frame of reference that follows the storm center for the 24h tracking forecast. The network is trained to estimate the longitude and latitude displacement of hurricanes and depressions from a large database from both hemispheres (more than 3000 storms since 1979, sampled at a 6 hour frequency). The advantage of the fusion network is demonstrated and a comparison with current forecast models shows that deep methods could provide a valuable and complementary prediction.
