Researchers on the University of Cambridge, along with the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research, and the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts, have developed a brand new AI-based weather forecasting system — Aardvark Weather — that would revolutionize the sector of meteorology.
Aardvark Weather can apparently provide weather forecasts which are tens of times more accurate, while requiring dramatically less computing power than modern systems. “Aardvark is 1000’s of times faster than all previous methods of weather forecasting,” Professor Richard Turner of Cambridge’s Department of Engineering, who led the research, said in a press release.
The AI system achieved this by replacing your complete strategy of weather forecasting with a single machine-learning model; it may well absorb observations from satellites, weather stations and other sensors after which generate each global and native forecasts.
