Featured outcome · RainGod-100

A precipitation nowcasting model that fuses satellite, weather-radar, and rain-gauge observations with physical modeling and artificial intelligence to directly produce rainfall forecasts up to two hours ahead, supporting early warning for flash floods, debris flows, landslides, and urban flooding.

Personal contribution: contributed to the model's design, training, and release.
