New Ai Weather Forecasting System Called A Huge Step Forward

The Aardvark Weather strategy will beryllium respective 1000 times faster than existent forecasting methods, and much accurate.

Researchers astatine nan University of Cambridge, together pinch nan Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research, and nan European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts, person developed a caller AI-based upwind forecasting system — Aardvark Weather — that could revolutionize nan section of meteorology.

Aardvark Weather tin apparently supply upwind forecasts that are tens of times much accurate, while requiring dramatically little computing powerfulness than modern systems. “Aardvark is thousands of times faster than each erstwhile methods of upwind forecasting,” Professor Richard Turner of Cambridge’s Department of Engineering, who led nan research, said successful a statement.

The AI strategy achieved this by replacing nan full process of upwind forecasting pinch a azygous machine-learning model; it tin return successful observations from satellites, upwind stations and different sensors and past make some world and section forecasts.

In nan past, a forecast required respective different models, each of which relies connected a supercomputer and a support squad to run. With Aardvark Weather, nan aforesaid activity tin beryllium completed successful conscionable a fewer minutes and pinch a modular desktop computer.

The results were published successful nan diary Nature.
