Tropical cyclone(TC)intensity estimation is a fundamental aspect of TC monitoring and forecasting.Deep learning models have recently been employed to estimate TC intensity from satellite images and yield precise results.This work proposes the ViT-TC model based on the Vision Transformer(ViT)architecture.Satellite images of TCs,including infrared(IR),water vapor(WV),and passive microwave(PMW),are used as inputs for intensity estimation.Experiments indicate that combining IR,WV,and PMW as inputs yields more accurate estimations than other channel combinations.The ensemble mean technique is applied to enhance the model's estimations,reducing the root-mean-square error to 9.32 kt(knots,1 kt ≈ 0.51 ms-1)and the mean absolute error to 6.49 kt,which outperforms traditional methods and is comparable to existing deep learning models.The model assigns high attention weights to areas with high PMW,indicating that PMW magnitude is essential information for the model's estimation.The model also allocates significance to the cloud-cover region,suggesting that the model utilizes the whole TC cloud structure and TC eye to determine TC intensity.
