The use of neural networks in hydrometeorology problems

The purpose of this paper is to study methods and technologies based on machine learning algorithms for solution of hydrometeorological problems associated with the satellite multispectral image classification.

Methodology. The models presented in the paper are developed using various machine learning methods, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) as well as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Multispectral satellite images are used as input data from which training and test datasets are formed, consisting of more than 270 thousands units. For calculations, the resources of hybrid computing systems and specialized machine learning libraries were used.

Results. The models have been developed for classifying the underlying surface. Methods for verifying snow masks and clouds are described.

Findings. It is shown that the use of textures in training of CNN increases the classification accuracy compared to other methods, especially in situations where spectral characteristics are similar (cold ice clouds and snow surface). The testing process of the developed algorithms includes an assessment of accuracy using metrics (f-measure, false alarm detection etc.) calculated for test datasets, as well as comparison with state-of-art models and the results of manual segmentation by experienced meteorologists. The test results showed a fairly high level of reliability and accuracy of classification.
