Deep generative nowcasting: Nature publication
We are happy to announce that our collaboration with Google DeepMind on applying deep learning techniques to precipitation nowcasting has now been published in Nature.
Skilful precipitation nowcasting using deep generative models of radar
This work has been made possible by leveraging a broad range of expertise from across the Met Office, from Operational Meteorology through Data Engineering, from User Experience researchers to Earth scientists, statistical scientists and many more. This diverse team was paired with Deep Learning and Machine Learning expertise from Google DeepMind to create a highly multidisciplinary team to deliver this groundbreaking research. The paper builds on our earlier review paper in which we summarise the emerging field combining Machine Learning and precipitation nowcasting.
