Description
Summary:The Precipitation nowcasting can provide high-resolution forecasts of rainfall and hydrometeors in 2 hours and play an important role in risk management for flash flood and debris flow events, but it is a very challenge work. This study proposed a new method which combine of XGBoost method and the PPLK model for precipitation nowcasting (XGB-PPLK). The proposed method was assessed in four different types of storms, and the experimental results show that the XGB-PPLK can improve the probability of detection (POD), as while as reducing the normalized mean square error (NMSE), and maintain the basically equivalent false-alarm ratio (FAR).
