Authors: Sergey Frolov The NOAA Unified Forecast System (UFS) / Global Ensemble Forecast System version 13 (GEFSv13) replay data set was developed to provide initial conditions for the retrospective forecast archive in support of the next implementation of the NOAA medium range forecast system (GEFSv13 / GFSv17). Increasingly, this dataset is being used for training of the coupled […]

Authors: Corey Potvin, Montgomery Flora, Adam Clark, Patrick Burke, Lou Wicker AI Numerical Weather Weather Prediction (NWP) emulators like Google DeepMind’s GraphCast could revolutionize weather prediction by providing more skillful forecasts at much less computational expense. While these emulators work well for global scales since decades of reanalyses at these scales are available for training, finer […]
