- Abstract
- In this study, we propose a new approach to improve the accuracy of the horizontal atmospheric motion vector (AMV) in cloud-free skies and its forecasting. We adapted the optical flow of the convolutional neural network (CNN) framework model using two 10-min interval infrared images at water vapor channels (centered at 6.3, 7.0, and 7.3 μm) from the Korean geostationary satellite GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK2A). Since all pixels had seamless AMVs calculated by CNN (CNN AMVs), we could also predict AMVs using the linear regression method. The tracking performance of the CNN-based algorithm was validated using AMVs retrieved from GK2A (GK2A AMVs) by estimating the difference between those values and the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) wind data over Korea in 2022. CNN AMVs showed similar or better root-mean-square vector differences (RMSVDs) than GK2A AMVs (12.33–12.86 vs. 15.89–19.96 m/s). The RMSVDs of the forecasted AMVs were 2.74, 2.95, 3.41, and 4.79 m/s at lead times of 10, 20, 30, and 60 min, respectively. Consequently, our method showed higher accuracy for tracking motion in the production of AMVs and succeeded in forecasting AMVs. We expect that such potential improvements in computational accuracy for operational GK2A AMVs will contribute to increased accuracy when forecasting meteorological phenomena related to wind. © The Author(s) 2024.
