Postprocessing East African Rainfall Forecasts Using a Generative Machine Learning Model We combine generative machine learning with conventional postprocessing to improve short range precipitation forecasts over East Africa The postprocessed forecasts show substantial improvements c...

Happy to share Bobby Antonio's paper on applying generative machine learning to improve skill at forecasting rainfall in East Africa: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Particularly interesting aspects are improvements in the diurnal cycle and getting good performance in an extreme season.

Happy to be included if you'd like ☺️
