Google's WeatherNext 3 ditches physics simulations and learns weather directly from live satellite data
TL;DRGoogle's new AI weather model learns from satellite data instead of physics equations.
Why it matters: AI-based forecasting could be faster and cheaper than traditional methods for meteorologists and disaster response.
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.…
