English
WindCastNet is the first satellite-based nowcasting framework for offshore wind, learning directly from irregular scatterometer observations via a partial convolutional LSTM. Over the North Sea it cuts RMSE by 23% (1h) and 7% (2h) versus NWP, offering an independent, competitive source for intraday offshore wind forecasting.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は洋上風力の導入拡大期にあり、系統運用・出力予測の精度向上は再エネ大量導入と電力安定供給に直結する。EEZ・港湾区域での事業化が進む中、衛星観測ベースの短期予測は国内の運用高度化に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
As offshore wind scales globally, intraday forecast skill directly affects grid balancing and curtailment. This work shows satellite constellations can complement NWP, relevant to TCFD/transition planning where renewable integration and grid reliability underpin decarbonization pathways.

📄 Abstract（原文）
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Accurate intraday forecasts of offshore wind are becoming increasingly important for power system operation and the integration of growing shares of offshore wind energy. Operational forecasts rely predominantly on numerical weather prediction (NWP), which is not optimized for lead times of minutes to hours, where initial-condition accuracy dominates forecast skill. Although satellite scatterometer observations are routinely assimilated into NWP, they have not previously been used directly for forecasting. Here we present WindCastNet, the first satellite-based nowcasting framework for offshore wind speed and direction, introducing a new paradigm for intraday forecasting that learns directly from spatiotemporally irregular satellite observations. WindCastNet predicts offshore wind fields from observations acquired by satellite scatterometer constellations. WindCastNet employs a partial convolutional long short-term memory network that exploits microwave radar observations from the European MetOp, Chinese HY-2, and Indian Oceansat-3 satellites despite their irregular spatial coverage, asynchronous sampling, and variable revisit times. Spatial observation masks and inter-observation intervals are encoded, while a continuous temporal representation enables forecasts at arbitrary lead times. Evaluated over the North Sea, WindCastNet reduces the root-mean-square error by 23% and 7% relative to the HARMONIE-AROME MEPS model at lead times of 1 and 2 h, respectively, and outperforms persistence by 9-15% during the first three forecast hours. Forecast skill decreases under strong-wind conditions and spatially non-uniform flow.These results demonstrate that satellite scatterometer constellations can provide an independent and competitive source of short-term offshore wind forecasts, opening new opportunities for renewable energy forecasting but also broader marine weather applications, including tropical cyclone nowcasting.</p>
