Microsoft unveils AI weather forecasting technology that can predict up to 6 weeks ahead
Microsoft has unveiled a new AI-based technique to improve the accuracy of weather forecasts 2 to 6 weeks ahead by correcting recurring errors in existing models. The machine-learning method, called probabilistic bias correction, can run on CPUs without high-performance GPUs and was released as open-source software. Researchers reported performance gains across precipitation, temperature and pressure metrics when applied to ECMWF models, and the approach is being tested in Kenya.
