China Regional 3km Downscaling Based on Residual Corrective Diffusion Model
- 基于残差修正扩散模型,融合地表与六层气压变量进行统计降尺度。
- 在多个变量上优于3公里区域模型的直接预报,尤其在雷达反射率细节上更真实。
- 适合气象科研与高精度预报应用,对生成式模型研究者有参考价值。
数值天气预报的核心挑战在于高效生成高分辨率预测。本文聚焦统计降尺度方法,利用深度学习建立低分辨率与高分辨率历史数据间的统计关系。采用基于扩散模型的降尺度框架CorrDiff,相比原版扩大近40倍覆盖区域,并新增六层高层大气变量作为目标变量,引入全局残差连接提升精度。为生成中国区域3公里预报,将训练好的模型应用于中国气象局(CMA)运行的25公里全球模式CMA-GFS及数据驱动的SFNO衍生模型SFF的输出。以高分辨率区域模式CMA-MESO为基准,实验表明本方法在目标变量上的平均绝对误差(MAE)普遍更低;雷达组合反射率预测显示,作为生成式模型的CorrDiff能捕捉细粒度结构,生成结果比确定性回归模型更接近真实观测。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
A fundamental challenge in numerical weather prediction is to efficiently produce high-resolution forecasts. A common solution is applying downscaling methods, which include dynamical downscaling and statistical downscaling, to the outputs of global models. This work focuses on statistical downscaling, which establishes statistical relationships between low-resolution and high-resolution historical data using statistical models. Deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool for this task, giving rise to various high-performance super-resolution models, which can be directly applied for downscaling, such as diffusion models and Generative Adversarial Networks. This work relies on a diffusion-based downscaling framework named CorrDiff. In contrast to the original work of CorrDiff, the region considered in this work is nearly 40 times larger, and we not only consider surface variables as in the original work, but also encounter high-level variables (six pressure levels) as target downscaling variables. In addition, a global residual connection is added to improve accuracy. In order to generate the 3km forecasts for the China region, we apply our trained models to the 25km global grid forecasts of CMA-GFS, an operational global model of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), and SFF, a data-driven deep learning-based weather model developed from Spherical Fourier Neural Operators (SFNO). CMA-MESO, a high-resolution regional model, is chosen as the baseline model. The experimental results demonstrate that the forecasts downscaled by our method generally outperform the direct forecasts of CMA-MESO in terms of MAE for the target variables. Our forecasts of radar composite reflectivity show that CorrDiff, as a generative model, can generate fine-scale details that lead to more realistic predictions compared to the corresponding deterministic regression models.
