Spatial Downscaling of Daily Temperature Minima Using Machine Learning Methods and Application to Frost Forecasting in Two Alpine Valleys by Sudheer Bhakare, Michael Matiu, Alice Crespi, Dino Zardi

“…Results suggest that CNN outperforms ANN and RF, achieving lower Root Mean Square Error (ranging from 2.04 °C to 2.66 °C) and Mean Absolute Error (1.59 °C to 2.03 °C) along with higher correlation (0.75 to 0.88) and reduced bias (−0.38 °C to −0.68) across all seasons, for the short term. The CNN model also exhibits superior performance in frost prediction, with the highest F1 score (0.78) and lowest False Discovery Rate (0.30) in predicting frost events, particularly in early spring for the short-term forecast period over 2010–2018. …”
