Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of meteorological data processing technology and artificial intelligence technology, deep learning models have shown great application potential in the field of weather forecasting. Due to their special geographical location, plateau airports (such as Lanzhou Airport) are often faced with extreme weather threats such as thunderstorms, strong winds, and low visibility. These weather phenomena seriously affect aviation safety and operational efficiency.
[0003] The current mainstream weather forecasting methods mainly rely on numerical weather forecast models. However, these traditional methods show obvious limitations in plateau areas: on the one hand, due to the influence of complex terrain, the model does not accurately capture local meteorological conditions, resulting in large forecast errors; on the other hand, in application scenarios such as single-point prediction and short-term forecast, its timeliness and accuracy are difficult to meet the actual needs of plateau airports.
[0004] Although artificial intelligence technology provides new ideas for solving the above problems, its application in the field of weather forecasting, especially in complex terrain and plateau areas, is still in the exploratory stage and has not yet formed a mature solution. Therefore, developing a deep learning weather forecasting system that can integrate numerical forecast products and real-time observation data has important practical significance and application value for improving the weather support capabilities of plateau airports.
