Google DeepMind announced GraphCast, an advanced AI weather prediction model that delivers 10-day forecasts in under a minute. In September, GraphCast predicted Hurricane Lee’s Nova Scotia landfall nine days ahead, surpassing traditional forecasts by three days, according to Rémi Lam, a Google DeepMind research scientist.
More:
- In a study published in the Science journal today, Google’s researchers described GraphCast as a “turning point in weather forecasting.”
- The AI model, trained on almost 40 years of historical data, can generate 10-day forecasts at six-hour intervals for global locations.
- GraphCast uses a small desktop computer, while a traditional model on a school bus-sized supercomputer takes an hour or more for the same task, they said.
- GraphCast outperformed the gold-standard “European model” by around 10% on over 90% of assessed weather variables. The former showed superior accuracy for both daily weather and extreme events, including hurricanes and extreme temperatures, according to the study.
