A Transformer Network Air Temperature and Humidity Inversion Method Based on ATMS Brightness Temperature Data

Abstract

Accurately measuring and inverting air parameters, such as air temperature and humidity, is crucial for weather forecasting, climate research, and environmental monitoring. In this letter, we propose an inversion method based on the transformer model to accurately estimate the spatial distribution of air temperature and humidity. Compared with traditional methods, the transformer model demonstrates superior ability in capturing nonlinear relationships and spatial dependencies in observational data, thereby improving inversion accuracy. Experiments conducted on real observational data have shown that compared to traditional techniques, the proposed method achieves a reduction of over 4.8% in the root mean square error (RMSE) of air temperature and over 14.2% in humidity estimation, demonstrating its high accuracy and reliability in inverting air temperature and humidity. This method provides a new approach for advancing air parameter inversion technology.
