Microsoft has launched new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered weather forecast models. The company is investing in artificial intelligence technology to increase accuracy in weather forecasts and extend forecast time. The new models aim to make weather forecasts more accurate for up to 30 days. Here are the details…
30-day accurate forecast: AI-powered weather forecast from Microsoft
Microsoft’s new weather forecast model is already “the world’s most accurate global weather forecast provider” It takes the success of the company known as one step further. This model Cornell University managed by arXiv It was introduced in a research published on the website. In the research, Microsoft’s new model was compared with the model currently used by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and was shown to provide better results.
Microsoft’s new weather forecast system creates forecasts using five different AI models and three deep learning architectures. These models, for decades It analyzes ongoing weather data and identifies recurring patterns in that data. These patterns are used to predict future weather trends.
The new address of weather: Google Graphcast!
Google has taken up meteorology. Google has developed a new artificial intelligence algorithm that prepares weather forecast reports called GraphCast.
This is a similar way of working to traditional numerical weather prediction models. However, Microsoft’s AI models, graphics processing units (GPU) By using it, you can make predictions faster and more frequently, which increases the accuracy of the results.
How does the new system work?
Microsoft’s new system predicts the atmospheric state one hour later, starting from the current state of the atmosphere on a three-dimensional sphere (latitude, longitude and altitude). This forecast is then fed back into the model and so on, producing several hourly forecasts. This process is important for understanding how a weather forecast model works.
However, one advantage of artificial intelligence models is that, thanks to GPUs, they can make predictions faster, resulting in more frequently updated and more accurate results. Microsoft states that the new model is also more sensitive in temperature predictions. According to the figures provided by the company, in the temperature forecasts for the next week 17 percentin the temperature forecasts for four weeks ahead 4 percent More precise results can be obtained.
Microsoft plans to integrate this new model into Microsoft Start soon, so users will be able to get more reliable weather forecasts. In the future, it is possible to see AI models that can make more accurate and longer-term weather forecasts. What are you thinking? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
