WeatherNext: AI model achieves breakthrough in forecasting cyclones
Google DeepMind 3 weeks ago 24 ● 2 sources
Google DeepMind's WeatherNext AI model predicts cyclone tracks, intensity, and wind structure with state-of-the-art accuracy by training on 20 terabytes of atmospheric data and nearly 5,000 historical storms. The model achieves an extra 24 hours of forecast lead time compared to prior systems, equivalent to a decade of traditional meteorological progress. Google is open sourcing WeatherNext 2 and WeatherNext Cyclones models to enable researchers and weather agencies worldwide to improve disaster preparedness and renewable energy forecasting.
