Researchers have introduced Extreme Weather Bench (EWB), a new open-source benchmark suite designed to evaluate AI and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. EWB provides a standardized set of case studies, observational data, and impact-based metrics to facilitate model validation, particularly for high-impact weather events. This community-driven framework aims to improve the trustworthiness and comparability of weather models by enabling rigorous verification against real-world phenomena. AI
