New AI model TC-Next improves cyclone forecasting accuracy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed TC-Next, a multimodal deep learning model for forecasting tropical cyclone track and intensity. This model leverages foundation model forecast fields and satellite imagery, demonstrating significant improvements over conventional methods. When trained on GraphCast forecasts, TC-Next reduced track error by 15-44% and intensity error by a factor of 3-6 compared to TempestExtremes. Notably, TC-Next achieved these results even when applied zero-shot to different weather models like Pangu-Weather and IFS HRES, outperforming specialized trackers. AI

IMPACT This model's improved accuracy in cyclone forecasting could lead to better disaster preparedness and response.
