Google's WeatherNext 3 model
Google's WeatherNext 3 ditches physics simulations and learns weather directly from live satellite data
WeatherNext 3 brings higher-resolution forecasts to underserved regions in Asia-Pacific and beyond, potentially improving disaster preparedness.
WeatherNext 3 produces hourly forecasts at five-kilometer resolution, five times more detailed than its predecessor. The model learns directly from real-time satellite data instead of traditional physics simulations. Regions in Africa, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific with historically poor forecasts should see the biggest improvements.
Google's WeatherNext 3 ditches physics simulations and learns weather directly from live satellite data
Google Research and DeepMind are releasing WeatherNext 3, a weather model that skips traditional physics simulations and learns directly from real-time satellite data. It produces hourly forecasts at up to five-kilometer resolution, five times more detailed than its predecessor. Google says regions in Africa, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific that have lacked accurate forecasts should see the biggest gains.
