Operational tropical cyclone forecasting with AI

Tropical cyclones are among the most dangerous and costly weather phenomena, but forecasting them remains challenging. Here we introduce WeatherNext Cyclones (WN-C), an artificial intelligence (AI)-based operational weather model that produces state-of-the-art ensemble forecasts of the track, intensity and size of trop...

WeatherNext 3: Increasing resolution and performance of global weather models with raw observations

State-of-the-art AI weather models have shown impressive medium-range forecast skill and computational efficiency, but suffer two key shortcomings: their forecasts have lower spatial and temporal resolution than the best physics-based models and they are exclusively initialized with and trained on analysis data. As a r...
