AI weather emulators show promise but struggle with extreme heat prediction accuracy

A new arXiv paper evaluates six deep learning weather emulators, including Pangu-Weather, FuXi, ArchesWeather, AIFS, GraphCast, and Aurora, against traditional physics-based models for predicting extreme heat events. While some AI models show comparable deterministic temperature prediction skill, they often suffer from reduced spectral fidelity, a phenomenon known as blurring. The study found that most emulators under-represent the peak intensity of extreme heat events, with traditional IFS models demonstrating superior recall. AI

IMPACT AI models show potential for improved temperature forecasting but require further development to accurately predict extreme heat intensities.
