摘要

Conventional statistical postprocessing techniques offer limited ability to improve the skills of probabilistic guidance for heavy precipitation. This paper introduces two artificial neural network (ANN)-based, geographically aware, and computationally efficient postprocessing schemes, namely, the ANN-multiclass (ANN-Mclass) and the ANN-censored, shifted gamma distribution (ANN-CSGD). Both schemes are implemented to postprocess Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) forecasts to produce probabilistic quantitative precipitation forecasts (PQPFs) over the contiguous United States (CONUS) using a short (60 days), rolling training window. The performances of these schemes are assessed through a set of hindcast experiments, wherein postprocessed 24-h PQPFs from the two ANN schemes were compared against those produced using the benchmark quantile mapping algorithm for lead times ranging from 1 to 8 days. Outcomes of the hindcast experiments show that ANN schemes overall outperform the benchmark as well as the raw forecast over the CONUS in predicting probability of precipitation over a range of thresholds. The relative performance varies among geographic regions, with the two ANN schemes broadly improving upon quantile mapping over the central, south, and southeast, and slightly underperforming along the Pacific coast where skills of raw forecasts are the highest. Between the two schemes, the hybrid ANN-CSGD outperforms at higher rainfall thresholds (i.e., >50 mm day(-1)), though the outperformance comes at a slight expense of sharpness and spatial specificity. Collectively, these results confirm the ability of the ANN algorithms to produce skillful PQPFs with a limited training window and point to the prowess of the hybrid scheme for calibrating PQPFs for rare-to-extreme rainfall events.
