Machine Learning for High-Resolution Downscaling in the Hawaiian Islands

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

Currently, models of global climate change lack the resolution needed to model the processes that create most of Hawai?i’s rainfall.

Detailed example

Using these improved spatial interpolation models, this project will create high-resolution, accurate historical rainfall maps. The project will also test the method for projecting future rainfall and compare predictions to existing statistical downscaling models.

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.

Expected benefit

predict precipitation at locations where no measurement data is available, using rainfall measurements from nearby locations

Controls / human review

ATO: No; PIA: Not published
