Deep coastal sea elements forecasting using U-Net based models
Jesús García Fernández, Ismail Alaoui Abdellaoui, Siamak Mehrkanoon
The supply and demand of energy is influenced by meteorological conditions. The relevance of accurate weather forecasts increases as the demand for renewable energy sources increases. The energy providers and policy makers require weather information to make informed choices and establish optimal plans according to the operational objectives. Due to the recent development of deep learning techniques applied to satellite imagery, weather forecasting that uses remote sensing data has also been the subject of major progress. The present paper investigates multiple steps ahead frame prediction for coastal sea elements in the Netherlands using U-Net based architectures. Hourly data from the Copernicus observation programme spanned over a period of 2 years has been used to train the models and make the forecasting, including seasonal predictions. We propose a variation of the U-Net architecture and further extend this novel model using residual connections, parallel convolutions and asymmetric convolutions in order to introduce three additional architectures. In particular, we show that the architecture equipped with parallel and asymmetric convolutions as well as skip connections outperforms the other three discussed models.
