How weather predicting software beaten by Google's AI?

Today was the wedding anniversary of adorable an American couple Samuel & Michelle. To give surprise to each other, both impatiently were waiting for parcel delivery man to receive their wedding anniversary gifts. At last time has come when Wireless Door Bell rung up, so they both rushed to collect their parcel. After receiving, they both came into the living room, and gave each other gifts. During the unboxing Amazon parcel, Samuel got ruby stone red cufflinks and Michelle flower TKV necklace. They were so very excited to receive gift from each other, couldn't stop kissing and hugging each other. Suddenly, when alert message from Samuel smartphones interrupted their romance, both husband and wife paused for a while. It was Gmail alert received in inbox of Samuel, so he opened email and start reading tech news and headline was Professional weather predicting software is beaten by Google's AI.

GraphCast is an artificial intelligence model that Google DeepMind researchers trained to forecast the weather.

The outcome exceeded expectations: in terms of forecast accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness, it performed better than the current professional software.

The industry standard utilized by the European Center for Medium-Range Forecasts, or HRES, is a counterpart to GraphCast.

Consequently, GraphCast used 1,380 tracking characteristics to predict the weather 90% of the time. For instance, ten days prior to Hurricane Lee's arrival, AI forecast that it would form on Long Island.

Numerical prediction (NWP) is used by traditional software to forecast the weather. It is predicated on well-chosen equations that are transformed into computer code and run on supercomputers.

GraphCast adopts a different strategy, using artificial intelligence (AI) to learn from decades' worth of historical weather data, rather than using equations. AI can therefore "see" into the future by analyzing patterns and studying cause-and-effect linkages.

In addition to being significantly more accurate, this method is far less expensive than utilizing supercomputers.

GraphCast's accuracy is largely due to conventional software because the AI could not train as well without NWP data.

Apart from typical meteorological conditions, artificial intelligence has the ability to forecast natural disasters well in advance, providing a window of opportunity for early evacuation of individuals from high-risk regions.

On a Google TPU v4 computer, GraphCast generates a 10-day forecast in less than a minute, demonstrating its extraordinary performance in this context. While requiring significantly more processing power, HRES finishes this task in a few hours.

The fact that the model's developers released the model's source code into the public domain is particularly notable since it will enable meteorologists to create systems that are far more accurate.

Furthermore, an experiment utilizing GraphCast is already being carried out by the European Center for Medium-Range Forecasts.

When Samuel finished reading tech news, he resumed loving with life partner Michelle.
