Abstract

We present a machine learning approach for disaggregating daily precipitation data into half-hourly intervals, specifically tailored for the Australian climate data collection context. The basis of our model is long short-term memory (LSTM), a type of recurrent neural network that can capture temporal correlations in sequential data over an arbitrary timeframe. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in four Australian capital cities using BoM data.
