| description | Accurate prediction of Global Navigation Satellite System-derived precipitable water vapor (GNSS-PWV), which is a crucial indicator for climate change monitoring, holds significant scientific value for climate disaster prevention and mitigation. In the study of GNSS-PWV prediction, the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) algorithm within a decomposition–integration framework effectively addresses the non-stationarity and complexity of PWV sequences, enhancing prediction accuracy. However, residual noise and pseudo-modes from decomposition can distort signals, reducing the predictor system’s reliability. Additionally, independent modeling of all decomposed components decreases computational efficiency. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a hybrid model combining the improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN), autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. Enhanced by local mean optimization and adaptive noise regulation, the ICEEMDAN algorithm effectively suppresses pseudo-modes and minimizes residual noise, enabling its decomposed intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) to more accurately capture the multi-scale features of GNSS-PWV. Sample entropy (SE) is used to quantify the complexity of IMFs, and components with similar entropy values are reconstructed into the following three sub-sequences: high-frequency, low-frequency, and trend. This process significantly reduces modeling complexity and improves computational efficiency. We propose different modeling strategies tailored to the dynamics of various subsequences. For the nonlinear and non-stationary high-frequency components, the LSTM network is used to effectively capture their complex patterns. The LSTM’s gating mechanism and memory cell design proficiently address the long-term dependency issue. For the stationary and weakly nonlinear low-frequency and trend components, linear patterns are extracted using ARIMA. Differencing eliminates trends and moving average operations capture random fluctuations, effectively addressing periodicity and trends in the time series. Finally, the prediction results of the three components are linearly combined to obtain the final prediction value. To validate the model performance, experiments were conducted using measured GNSS-PWV data from several stations in Hong Kong. The results demonstrate that the proposed model reduces the root mean square error by 56.81%, 37.91%, and 13.58% at the 1 h scale compared to the LSTM, EMD-LSTM, and ICEEMDAN-SE-LSTM benchmark models, respectively. Furthermore, it exhibits strong robustness in cross-month forecasts (accounting for seasonal influences) and multi-step predictions over the 1–6 h period. By improving the accuracy and efficiency of PWV predictions, this model provides reliable technical support for the real-time monitoring and early warning of extreme weather events in Hong Kong while offering a universal methodological reference for multi-scale modeling of geophysical parameters. |
