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.
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...
