Aardvark: AI Model That Can Forecast Weather in Minutes
Humpy Adepu
Aardvark Weather is an AI-powered weather forecasting system developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge. Aardvark can produce forecasts ten times faster than current AI models.
This AI model has dual capability, meaning it generates global gridded forecasts and also provides accurate local station forecasts. This means increased precision, and reliability.
The weather model reduces processing time and computational costs as it processes raw weather observations without relying on NWP steps that suggest affordable weather forecasts.
Aardvark Weather enhances AI’s potential in solving complex real-life problems, implying that the technology can extend far beyond just weather forecasting.
The possibilities can broaden upto predicting events like hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes and dynamics like air quality and sea ice predictions.
