About this Environmental Science article
Monthly Rainfall Forecasting by a Hybrid Neural Network of Discrete Wavelet Transformation and Deep Learning by Ming Wei; Xue-yi You is a Environmental Science article available to read on EtoBox.
Rainfall forecast is critical to the management and allocation of water resources. Deep learning is used to predict rainfall time series with high temporal and spatial variability. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT), long-short term memory (LSTM) and dilated causal convolutional neural network (DCCNN) is integrated to build a hybrid model (DWT-CLSTM-DCCNN). Two methods of sample construction are used to train DWT-CLSTM-DCCNN and their effects on the model performance are analyzed. LSTM and DCCNN are built as benchmark models. The forecasting performance of DWT-CLSTM-DCCNN on monthly rainfall data from four major cities in China is evaluated. The results of DWT-CLSTM-DCCNN are compared with those of benchmark models in terms of the mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE) and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) as well as the forecasting curves. The results show that DWT-CLSTM-DCCNN outperforms the benchmark models in model accuracy and peak and mutational rainfall capture.
