# Model Card: GPROF-NN 3D
## Model Details
- **Model Name:** GPROF-NN 3D
- **Developer:** Simon Pfreundschuh, Paula J. Brown, Christian D. Kummerow
- **License:** MIT
- **Model Type:** Neural Network for Precipitation Retrieval
- **Language:** Not applicable
- **Framework:** PyTorch
- **Repository:** github.com/simonpf/gprof_nn
## Model Description
GPROF-NN 3D a precipitation retrieval algorithm for passive microwave (PMW) observations for the sensors of the GPM constellation. It is based on a convolutional neural network leveraging both spatial (2D) and spectral (+1D) information. The version provided here is an early prototype of the model that will become GPROF V8.
### Inputs
- Brightness temperatures from passive microwave sensors
- Earth incidence angles
- Ancillary atmospheric and surface state information (e.g., surface temperature, humidity)
### Outputs
- Surface precipitation estimates
- Hydrometeor profiles
## Training Data
- **Training Data Source:** Satellite-based observations and collocated ground truth precipitation estimates (e.g., GPM DPR, rain gauges, reanalysis data)
- **Data Preprocessing:** Normalization, quality control, and augmentation techniques applied to enhance generalization
## Training Procedure
- **Optimizer:** AdamW
- **Loss Function:** Quantile regression
- **Training Hardware:** 1 A100 GPU
- **Hyperparameters:** Not exhaustively tuned
## Performance
- **Evaluation Metrics:** Bias, Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Correlation Coefficient, Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (SMAPE)
- **Benchmark Comparisons:** Compared against conventional GPROF algorithm.
- **Strengths:** Lower errors, higher correlation, higher effective resolution
- **Limitations:** Sensitivity to sensor-specific biases
## Intended Use
- **Primary Use Case:** Satellite-based precipitation retrieval for weather and climate applications
- **Potential Applications:** Hydrology, extreme weather forecasting, climate research
- **Usage Recommendations:** Performance may vary across different climate regimes
## Ethical Considerations
- **Bias Mitigation:** Extensive validation against independent datasets
## How to Use
