准确的站点级降水短临预报对农业、水资源管理和防灾减灾至关重要,通常被建模为时间序列预测问题。然而,传统时间序列方法在应对站点级降水预报时面临两大挑战:(1) 缺乏物理引导建模,气象变量被视为同质集合,未考虑其在降水形成中的不同作用,导致预测偏离实际物理过程;(2) 降水数据严重零膨胀,干期占据主导,掩盖了有意义的降水模式,增加了建模难度。为此,我们提出MZ-Rain,一种基于水分预算方程指导的零膨胀sLSTM框架,用于站点级降水短临预报。该模型将降水形成过程分解为水分储存、水分输送、地表蒸发和降水持续性等特定路径,并通过专用sLSTM分支捕捉其时间演化。针对降水零膨胀特性,引入自适应Tweedie建模策略,在联合学习降水发生概率的同时动态调节降雨均值,实现干湿判别与定量预报的更好平衡。在多种地理与气候区域的广泛实验表明,MZ-Rain在多个评估指标(包括CSI、FAR、MSE、MAE)上持续优于强基线模型,尤其在强降水事件预测方面表现突出,同时具备物理可解释性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate station-level precipitation nowcasting is critical for agriculture, water resource management, and disaster prevention, which typically is formulated as a time series forecasting problem. However, conventional time-series modeling techniques face two major challenges in addressing station-level precipitation nowcasting: (1) Lack of Physics-Guided Modeling}, where meteorological variables are treated as a homogeneous set without accounting for their distinct roles in precipitation formation, leads to predictions that deviate from the physical processes governing precipitation. (2) Severe zero inflation in precipitation, where dry intervals dominate the dataset, obscuring meaningful precipitation patterns and complicating the predictive modeling. To address these challenges, we propose \textbf{MZ-Rain}, a moisture-budget-guided zero-inflated sLSTM framework for station-level precipitation nowcasting. Guided by the moisture budget equation, MZ-Rain decomposes the precipitation formation process into process-specific pathways corresponding to moisture storage, moisture transport, surface evaporation, and precipitation persistence, and captures their temporal evolution through dedicated sLSTM branches. To account for the zero-inflated nature of precipitation, MZ-Rain introduces an adaptive Tweedie modeling strategy that adaptively modulates the rainfall mean while jointly learning precipitation occurrence as an auxiliary task, enabling the model to better balance dry-wet discrimination and quantitative precipitation estimation. Extensive experiments across diverse geographical and climatic regimes demonstrate that MZ-Rain consistently outperforms strong baselines on multiple evaluation metrics, including CSI, FAR, MSE, and MAE. In particular, the model exhibits superior skill in forecasting heavy precipitation events, while benefiting from physically grounded process modeling.
