Description

Tropical cyclones are one of the costliest natural disasters globally because of the wide range of associated hazards. Thus, an accurate diagnostic model for tropical cyclone intensity can save lives and property. There are a number of existing techniques and approaches that diagnose tropical cyclone wind speed using satellite data at a given time with varying success. In addition, a visualization portal in a production system is presented that displays deep learning output and contextual information for end users, one of the first of its kind. This paper presents a deep learning-based objective, diagnostic estimate of tropical cyclone intensity from infrared satellite imagery with 13.24 kt Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). Intensity prediction of Tropical Cyclone is challenging and requires computational support to increase efficiency promptly. Best track data of tropical cyclones are used for intensity prediction.
