For the precipitation prediction problem in the era of climate big data, we propose a new method based on deep learning. In this paper, we will apply deep belief networks in weather precipitation forecasting. Deep belief networks transform the feature representation of data in the original space into a new feature space, with semantic features to improve the predictive performance. The experimental results show, compared with other forecasting methods, the feasibility of deep belief networks in the field of weather forecasting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a11090132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,5]],"date-time":"2018-09-05T03:08:55Z","timestamp":1536116935000},"page":"132","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Study of Precipitation Forecast Based on Deep Belief Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2170-0255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinglin","family":"Du","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Meteorological Observation and Information Processing, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Yayun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Meteorological Observation and Information Processing, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Zhijun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Longchuan Water Conservancy Construction Co., Ltd., Yangzhou 225200, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"177","article-title":"An experiment of high-resolution gauge-radar-satellite combined precipitation retrieval based on the Bayesian merging method","volume":"73","author":"Pan","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
