用物理引导的动态图网络提升中长期天气预报精度
VeinCast: Physics-Guided Dynamic Field Graphs with Graph-Conditioned Fusion for Global Medium-Range Weather Forecasting

- 构建动态场图,融合先验物理关系与状态依赖边
- 14天预报在ERA5上达70余项气象场领先水平
- 适合需要高精度气象建模的研究者与业务系统
全球中长期天气预报需建模异质大气场间结构化且随状态变化的相互作用。现有数据驱动模型多隐式学习这些关系,而方程级物理约束可能引入近似与模型形式偏差。我们提出VeinCast,一种物理引导的动态场图与图条件融合框架,联合预测69个地表及高空气象场。在每个局部窗口内,其物理引导的动态场图结合预设大气关系与状态依赖的Top-K残差边,并利用所得图上下文自适应地球窗注意力。图条件潜空间融合进一步利用图上下文与源节点中心性指导场到潜变量聚合,有界反馈保留场特异性信息。在1.5° ERA5基准上,VeinCast在长达14天的预报周期内对全部69个气象场表现优于代表性的全球天气预报模型,包括FuXi、Pangu-Weather、GraphCast、FengWu和ARROW。消融实验确认两个模块提供互补增益,验证了关系级物理引导在数据驱动天气预报中的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Global medium-range weather forecasting requires modeling structured yet state-dependent interactions among heterogeneous atmospheric fields. Existing data-driven models largely learn these interactions implicitly, whereas equation-level physical constraints may inherit approximation and model-form biases. We present VeinCast, a physics-guided dynamic field graph and graph-conditioned fusion framework that jointly forecasts 69 surface and upper-air fields. Within each local window, its Physics-Guided Dynamic Field Graph combines predefined atmospheric relations with state-dependent Top-K residual edges and adapts Earth-window attention using the resulting graph context. Graph-Conditioned Latent Fusion further employs graph context and source-node centrality to guide field-to-latent aggregation, while bounded feedback preserves field-specific information. On the $1.5^\circ$ ERA5 benchmark, VeinCast demonstrates competitive forecasting performance across all 69 meteorological fields at lead times of up to 14 days, compared with representative global weather forecasting models including FuXi, Pangu-Weather, GraphCast, FengWu, and ARROW. Ablations confirm that the two modules provide complementary gains, demonstrating the effectiveness of relational-level physical guidance for data-driven weather forecasting.
