Forecasting extreme monthly rainfall events in regions of Queensland, Australia using artificial neural networks

Abstract: Extreme rainfall in Queensland during December 2010 and January 2011 resulted in catastrophic flooding, causing loss of life, extensive property damage and major disruption of economic activity. Official medium-term rainfall forecasts failed to warn of the impending heavy rainfall. Since the flooding, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has changed its method of forecast from an empirical statistical scheme to the application of a general circulation model (GCM), the Predictive Ocean and Atmospheric Model for… Show more

“…This chapter is a review of various studies undertaken since 2012 focused on this general area, with specific information on data and methodology in the published technical papers that are referenced [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, in this first section, the method used in an early study [17] is provided in more detail, by way of background into how an ANN can be practically deployed to generate a rainfall forecast.…”

“…In contrast, with the Neurosolutions Infinity software that we used since 2015 [19][20][21] the selection of network architecture and configuration was automated. This offered a great advantage in terms of arriving at an optimum forecast model for each data set of interest without prohibitive time outlay.…”

“…One of the best hydro-climatology data prediction methods is an artificial neural network (ANN) since it can make prediction with the input of compound data [4]. Rainfall predictions using artificial neural networks have been widely studied and reported [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Perceptron, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Backpropagation are three types of ANN that are widely known.…”
