Automatic development of deep neural networks for improving numerical meteorological forecast

Abstract

This paper briefly describes the examples of deep learning applications to scientific and technical problems, as well as the difficulties that may arise with these applications. The paper shows the importance of the automatic development of deep neural networks. The paper verifies the possibility of the application of the neuroevolutionary approach to the post-processing of the results of meteorological forecasting (2m temperature) obtained using numerical hydrodynamic methods. The results show that in half of the cases, both the rootmean-square error value and the percentage of improved predictions are better (and in some cases much better) for the neuroevolutionary approach than the corresponding values for the manually designed architecture. Thus, neural network models obtained automatically can outperform manually designed models while applied to improving numerical meteorological forecasts
