The invention relates to the technical field of
meteorology and
artificial intelligence, in particular to a short-time rainfall
nowcasting method based on multi-source meteorological data and a neural network, and the method comprises the steps: collecting the multi-source meteorological data of a target, and building a historical
data set; respectively expanding the
training set and the
verification set based on a sliding window; fusing the
radar data and the multi-source meteorological variable data by using a multi-head self-attention mechanism; training a rainfall
nowcasting neural network driven by the multi-source meteorological data by using the historical
data set; and on the basis of the trained rainfall
nowcasting neural network, selecting parameters meeting a preset optimal condition, performing quantitative evaluation on the
test set, generating an
evaluation result of short-time rainfall nowcasting, and forecasting the short-time rainfall amount of the target period according to the real-time
radar rainfall and the multi-meteorological variable data on the basis of the
evaluation result. Therefore, the problems that an existing rainfall nowcasting method is single in driving
data source, low in rainfall forecasting precision, difficult to forecast a complex rainfall process and the like are solved.
