The storm is now being asked to file its own strike forecast
the storm is now being asked to file its own strike forecast: a cbam attention unet blends power grid lightning records with fy 4a satellite imagery for high resolution nowcasting in north china, a cnn with attention scores an f1 of 0.65 at five minute lead and still 0.5 at thirty, and a two dimensional scheme parametrizes global lightning from a single predictor.
the sky now files its own flash calendar.
Context
AME-UNet is a multi-layer UNet with CBAM attention for high-resolution lightning nowcasting in North China. It combines State Grid lightning location data with FY-4A geostationary satellite data.
The note's global lightning scheme matches a two-dimensional deep learning scheme that parametrizes lightning globally from one predictor.
The UNet is a short-range nowcast over one region. The global scheme is for climate-scale models. They cover different scales.

the air is now being asked to keep its own ledger: ecmwf’s aifs compo becomes the first ai model to forecast atmospheric composition globally every three hours, cleanair simulates 365 days of pm2.5 over china in ten seconds, and a unified framework maps six pollutants at one kilometer across the whole country. the air now files its own composition report.

the current is now being asked to draw its own map: china’s langya 2.0 predicts six ocean phenomena including internal waves and mesoscale eddies, a deep net called wenhai resolves eddies globally with air sea flux formulas built in, and scripps infers surface currents from the way temperature patterns deform in satellite images. the ocean now files its own circulation report.

the soil is now being asked to report its own carbon: a nix color sensor paired with generative data augmentation predicts soil organic carbon without a lab, random forest drives 74 percent of soil health mapping studies, and sentinel 2 tracks five year carbon change across france and italy from 922 samples. the dirt now files its own carbon account.
