The article discusses a transformative development in weather forecasting through the implementation of machine learning in numerical weather prediction (NWP). It introduces Aardvark Weather, a comprehensive system that utilizes machine learning to produce both global and local forecasts without relying on traditional numerical methods at deployment time. The article presents findings demonstrating that global forecasts generated by this system outperform existing NWP baselines. Local forecasts are also competitive, maintaining accuracy over ten days. These advancements suggest a substantial shift in meteorological forecasting practices, enhancing the efficiency and reliability for various sectors reliant on weather data.
Machine learning is revolutionizing numerical weather prediction (NWP), enhancing speed and accuracy while demonstrating that comprehensive forecasting can be achieved without relying on traditional numerical systems.
We present Aardvark Weather, an innovative end-to-end data-driven weather prediction system that replaces the traditional NWP pipeline, yielding superior global forecasts and accurate local forecasts.
Our findings highlight that a single machine learning model can entirely substitute the NWP pipeline, indicating a transformative approach to weather prediction methodologies.
The potential for skillful forecasting without traditional NWP during deployment signifies a significant evolution in meteorological practices, benefiting various sectors reliant on accurate weather data.
