Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
The evolution of lightning generation and extinction is a nonlinear and complex process, and the nowcasting results based on extrapolation and numerical models largely differ from the real situation. In this study, a multiple-input and multiple-output lightning nowcasting model, namely Convolutional Long- and Short-Term Memory Lightning Forecast Net (CLSTM-LFN), is constructed to improve the lightning nowcasting results from 0 to 3 h based on video prediction methods in deep learning. The input variables to CLSTM-LFN include historical lightning occurrence frequency and physical variables significantly related to lightning occurrence from numerical model products, which are merged with each other to provide effective information for lightning nowcasting in time and space. The results of batch forecasting tests show that CLSTM-LFN can achieve effective forecasts of 0 to 3 h lightning occurrence areas, and the nowcasting results are better than those of the traditional lightning parameterization scheme and only inputting a single data source. After analyzing the importance of input variables, the results show that the role of numerical model products increases significantly with increasing forecast time, and the relative importance of convective available potential energy is significantly larger than that of other physical variables. |
