New study examines scale-aware scoring rules for AI weather forecasts

A preliminary study explored the impact of different scoring rules on machine-learned probabilistic weather forecast models. Researchers compared variations of the AIFS-CRPS model trained with univariate and multivariate scoring rules, including the Continuous Ranked Probability Score (CRPS), a global energy score, and a graph energy score. While overall forecast skill was similar across standard metrics, the graph energy score showed improved performance in tropical regions, and all scale-aware setups enhanced forecast realism by adjusting scale weights.
