Researchers have explored how AI weather models internally represent complex phenomena like tropical cyclones. Using sparse autoencoders (SAEs) with the GraphCast model, they analyzed features related to cyclone position, intensity, and pressure structure across different layers. The study found that physical attributes are organized across multiple SAE features and layers, with deeper layers showing better alignment with future cyclone positions. This suggests a reproducible organizational structure within the AI model that can aid in interpreting its internal states. AI
