The European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has introduced its free AI-powered forecasting model, the Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS). Designed for medium-range forecasts (3 to 15 days), AIFS aims to outperform traditional physics-based models by up to 20% in accuracy while operating significantly faster and utilizing considerably less energy. Traditional forecasting relies on simplified physical equations of atmospheric physics, while AI models leverage data analysis to uncover more complex patterns, thus enhancing predictive capabilities across key metrics such as wind, temperature, and precipitation.
The Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS) promises to enhance medium-range weather prediction by outperforming current physics-based models by up to 20% in accuracy.
With the new AIFS, detailed forecasts for wind, temperature, and precipitation will be provided, significantly increasing efficiency while reducing energy consumption.
