Researchers have developed S2S-JEPA, a new AI model designed to improve weather forecasting accuracy on subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) timescales, which typically range from two weeks to two months. Unlike previous AI weather models that struggle beyond two weeks due to predicting unpredictable fine details, S2S-JEPA focuses on forecasting only the stable, predictable components of weather patterns. This approach, inspired by computer vision's Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA), allows S2S-JEPA to match the skill of established physics-based ensemble models and even surpass them at longer forecast horizons.
