Abstract:

With the advancement of computer technology and big data, convolutional neural networks of the deep learning have become the mainstream technology for processing large-scale data with grid structure, especially in the field of computer vision. Convolutional neural networks have also been gradually applied in the field of atmospheric science to process multi-angle and multi-scale meteorological data. This paper reviews the progress of convolutional neural networks and their applications in atmospheric science, the conclusions are as following. Through the optimization of network depth and width and magnitude compression, the accuracy and efficiency of convolutional neural networks have been significantly improved, and they have become the mainstream technology for computer vision tasks. The convolutional neural network can process meteorological data efficiently, and has been applied in meteorological target recognition, extreme event detection, numerical model improvement and drought weather event prediction, etc., showing a good application prospect. The application of convolutional neural networks in atmospheric science is still in the exploratory stage, and faces challenges such as the complexity of meteorological data, the need for improvement of model structure and poor interpretability, so further research is needed to promote its development.
