Abstract

Climate change affects the water cycle, water resource management, and sustainable socio-economic development. In order to accurately predict climate change in Weifang City, China, this study utilizes multiple data-driven deep learning models. The climate data for 73 years include monthly average air temperature (MAAT), monthly average minimum air temperature (MAMINAT), monthly average maximum air temperature (MAMAXAT), and monthly total precipitation (MP). The different deep learning models include artificial neural network (ANN), recurrent NN (RNN), gate recurrent unit (GRU), long short-term memory neural network (LSTM), deep convolutional NN (CNN), hybrid CNN-GRU, hybrid CNN-LSTM, and hybrid CNN-LSTM-GRU. The CNN-LSTM-GRU for MAAT prediction is the best-performing model compared to other deep learning models with the highest correlation coefficient (R = 0.9879) and lowest root mean square error (RMSE = 1.5347) and mean absolute error (MAE = 1.1830). These results indicate that The hybrid CNN-LSTM-GRU method is a suitable climate prediction model. This deep learning method can also be used for surface water modeling. Climate prediction will help with flood control and water resource management.
