In forecasting Hurricane Isaias, meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center in Miami have shaped their predictions to closely match an AI hurricane model from Google DeepMind.
They weren’t using machine learning models before. They were using physics models which just run simulations on a given set of equations, with a given set of assumptions (which are where the models all differ, those underlying assumptions).
They did not point to a single example though either. They pointed to several. The WeatherNext model has been outperforming the traditional models on everything over the past year. Consistently.
