| contents | As climate change drives increased frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation and flooding worldwide, posing escalating threats to public safety and economic assets, accurate and real-time satellite-based precipitation estimation is essential for operational large-scale hydrometeorological analysis and disaster monitoring. NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG Final Run) combines information from "all" satellite microwave observations with gauge correction and climatological adjustment to produce precipitation estimates at 0.1° spatial and 30-min temporal resolution. However, its latency of approximately 3.5 months restricts its utility for real-time applications, despite outperforming mainstream satellite precipitation datasets in representing rainfall patterns and variability. We present Huayu, a novel machine learning-based real-time satellite precipitation retrieval system that relies solely on infrared observations from the FengYun-4B geostationary satellite to provide a more accurate precipitation estimate at a finer spatiotemporal resolution (15 min, 0.05°) over a 120° by 120° domain. Performance evaluations demonstrate that Huayu achieves strong consistency with rain gauge observations, yielding a critical success index (CSI) of 0.693 - representing a 3.43% improvement over IMERG Final Run (CSI: 0.670). Experimental results confirm that infrared satellite observations can deliver more accurate precipitation estimates than conventional multi-source algorithms. |
