Machine learning weather models show promise but need refinement for complex terrain

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new study evaluated the performance of three machine learning weather prediction (MLWP) models—FourCastNet3 (FCN3), GraphCast, and ECMWF High Resolution Forecast (HRES)—for wind speed forecasting in Northern Norway. The research found that while HRES slightly outperformed the MLWP models with an RMSE of 2.89 m/s, FCN3 and GraphCast showed comparable performance and maintained their skill beyond their training periods. Although MLWP models are becoming competitive with traditional numerical weather prediction for local wind, they still struggle to accurately predict strong winds in complex terrain. AI

IMPACT Machine learning weather models are becoming competitive with traditional methods, though further development is needed for complex environments.
