Researchers have developed Huracan, a novel end-to-end data-driven system for weather prediction that relies solely on observational data. This system integrates an ensemble data assimilation model with a forecast model, producing initial conditions and forecasts without the need for traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) inputs. Huracan demonstrates comparable skill to ECMWF ENS, a leading NWP system, achieving a better continuous ranked probability score on over 80% of variable and lead time combinations, marking a significant advancement in data-driven weather forecasting.
