RainOverAfrica.AI: nowcasting precipitation with uncertainty from geostationary imagery

[John Bagiliko]

Hi All,

You are invited to join our seminar next week to be led by Adrià Amell, a PhD student, Chalmers University of Technology.

Abstract: Geostationary satellites offer an unrivalled spatiotemporal coverage, but their measurements have often been considered only complementary for the complex problem of estimating precipitation from space. In this seminar, we will walk through Rain over Africa (RoA), a method based on a neural network and geostationary imagery that can provide not only continuous precipitation estimates over the entire African continent but also case-specific uncertainties, facilitating the detection of extreme events. We will also see how anyone can produce RoA estimates with low latency after the dissemination of satellite data, enabling resilience planning through near real-time monitoring. This nowcasting aspect of RoA is not at the expense of accuracy, since it results superior to established higher latency products.
