[S05A-01] A Hybrid Scheme of Kinematics and Koopman Operator Analysis for Short-time Precipitation Forecast
Keywords:data-driven analysis, Koopman operator analysis, nonlinear dynamics, short-time precipitation forecast
This study proposes a new precipitation forecast method based on Koopman operator analysis, which is a more recent type of data-driven method. We develop a model to decompose the temporal evolution of weather states into global spatial movement and the evolution or attenuation of state, and to predict the former by kinematic manipulation and the latter by Koopman operator analysis. A numerical experiment was performed wherein the precipitation was predicted for a certain lead time based on the observation records in XRAIN. From the experimental results, it was verified that the proposed model shows high accuracy as compared to the persistent prediction and simple kinematic extrapolation models.
