Methodological Changes to the Attention ResUNet Hourly Precipitation Postprocessor

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.38609v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This note is a technical companion to a previously published preprint describing an Attention Residual U-Net that postprocesses deterministic forecasts from The Weather Company's Global and Regional Atmospheric Forecast (GRAF) model into probabilistic hourly precipitation forecasts. It documents what has changed in that method since publication. Feature-wise Linear Modulation conditioning on calendar season and forecast lead time is used to produce a single trained model for each season, replacing 192 separately trained per-month, per-lead checkpoints. Lead time is extended from 48 to 72 h. Two new input channels are used, per-pixel local solar hour and a static, monthly-varying precipitation climatology. During verification, the climatolog
