Global 3D Reconstruction of Clouds & Tropical Cyclones
- 基于预训练-微调框架，融合多源卫星数据生成3D云图。
- 首次实现全球范围内强台风的三维结构精确重建，准确率显著提升。
- 适用于观测缺失场景，助力台风强度预测研究与预报改进。
热带气旋（TC）的精准预报仍面临挑战，主要源于卫星观测对气旋结构覆盖有限，以及难以解析影响其增强的云属性。近年研究表明，机器学习可从卫星观测中重建三维云结构，但现有方法局限于热带气旋较少发生的区域，且在强风暴场景下验证不足。本文提出一种新框架，基于预训练-微调管道，利用具有全球覆盖的多颗卫星数据，将二维卫星图像转化为相关云属性的三维云图。我们将其应用于自建的热带气旋数据集，在最具挑战性且最相关的条件下评估性能。结果表明，本模型首次实现了全球瞬时三维云图的生成，并能准确重建强风暴的三维结构。该模型不仅扩展了可用卫星观测范围，还能在无观测时提供有效估计，对深化对热带气旋增强机制的理解及提升预报能力具有重要意义。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate forecasting of tropical cyclones (TCs) remains challenging due to limited satellite observations probing TC structure and difficulties in resolving cloud properties involved in TC intensification. Recent research has demonstrated the capabilities of machine learning methods for 3D cloud reconstruction from satellite observations. However, existing approaches have been restricted to regions where TCs are uncommon, and are poorly validated for intense storms. We introduce a new framework, based on a pre-training--fine-tuning pipeline, that learns from multiple satellites with global coverage to translate 2D satellite imagery into 3D cloud maps of relevant cloud properties. We apply our model to a custom-built TC dataset to evaluate performance in the most challenging and relevant conditions. We show that we can - for the first time - create global instantaneous 3D cloud maps and accurately reconstruct the 3D structure of intense storms. Our model not only extends available satellite observations but also provides estimates when observations are missing entirely. This is crucial for advancing our understanding of TC intensification and improving forecasts.
