Abstract (arXiv)

Weather forecast plays an essential role in multiple aspects of the daily life of human beings. Currently, physics based numerical weather prediction is used to predict the weather and requires enormous amount of computational resources. In recent years, deep learning based models have seen wide success in many weather-prediction related tasks. In this paper we describe our experiments for the Weather4cast 2021 Challenge, where 8 hours of spatio-temporal weather data is predicted based on an initial one hour of spatio-temporal data. We focus on SmaAt-UNet, an efficient U-Net based autoencoder. With this model we achieve competent results whilst maintaining low computational resources. Furthermore, several approaches and possible future work is discussed at the end of the paper.
