"The weather affects us all, in ways big and small. It can dictate how we dress
in the morning, provide us with green energy and, in the worst cases, create
storms that can devastate communities. In a world of increasingly extreme
weather, fast and accurate forecasts have never been more important.
In a paper published in
Science, we introduce GraphCast, a state-of-the-art
AI model able to make medium-range weather forecasts with unprecedented
accuracy. GraphCast predicts weather conditions up to 10 days in advance more
accurately and much faster than the industry gold-standard weather simulation
system – the High Resolution Forecast (HRES), produced by the European Centre
for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
GraphCast can also offer earlier warnings of extreme weather events. It can
predict the tracks of cyclones with great accuracy further into the future,
identifies atmospheric rivers associated with flood risk, and predicts the
onset of extreme temperatures. This ability has the potential to save lives
through greater preparedness.
GraphCast takes a significant step forward in AI for weather prediction,
offering more accurate and efficient forecasts, and opening paths to support
decision-making critical to the needs of our industries and societies. And, by
open sourcing the model code for GraphCast, we are enabling scientists and
forecasters around the world to benefit billions of people in their everyday
lives. GraphCast is already being used by weather agencies, including ECMWF,
which is running a live experiment of our model’s forecasts on its website."
