A Machine Learning Based Ensemble Forecasting Optimization Algorithm for Preseason Prediction of Atlantic Hurricane Activity

Sun, X., Xie, L., Shah, S. U., & Shen, X. (2021, April 20). Atmosphere, Vol. 12, p. 522.

author keywords: hurricane prediction; machine learning; ensemble model
topics (OpenAlex): Tropical and Extratropical Cyclones Research; Meteorological Phenomena and Simulations; Ocean Waves and Remote Sensing
TL;DR: The results show that neither SAE nor ML-OE was able to improve the forecasts of the response variables when all models show consistent bias, and that increasing the number of ensemble members does not necessarily lead to better ensemble forecasts. (via Semantic Scholar)
