Emergency managers need to know where floodwater is, how deep it is, and how it will change over the coming hours across an entire river basin. During a flood, however, real-time measurements come fro...
MZ‑Rain is a moisture‑budget‑guided zero‑inflated sLSTM framework designed for station‑level precipitation nowcasting. It decomposes precipitation formation into moisture storage, transport, surface evaporation, and persistence pathways, each modeled by dedicated sLSTM branches, and employs an adaptive Tweedie strategy to handle the dataset’s severe zero inflation. Experiments across varied climates show MZ‑Rain outperforms strong baselines on metrics such as CSI, FAR, MSE, and MAE, especially for heavy precipitation events.

The paper introduces a Physics Informed Recurrent Neural Network (PIRNN) that simultaneously predicts target time series and unobservable intermediate physical variables, enhancing robustness and interpretability. It adapts to any physical model with multiple equations and variables, demonstrated on groundwater level predictions using the Gardenia model. Experiments on twelve real‑world datasets show PIRNN outperforming several neural network baselines and the Gardenia model, with an ablation study confirming the value of physical knowledge.

The study presents a deployment‑aware framework for forecasting spring discharge and groundwater levels in the Edwards Aquifer over 1‑12 week horizons using 79 years of hydroclimatic data. Five machine‑learning families—extreme gradient boosting, extremely randomized trees, LSTM, CNN, and Transformers—were compared, with extreme gradient boosting consistently delivering the highest reliability (R² ≥ 0.94) and strong agreement with operational drought thresholds. The validated models were integrated into a five‑agent operational architecture that automates data acquisition, model selection, prediction, threshold monitoring, verification, literature retrieval, and reporting.
