#AI models do pretty darn well at forecasting the #weather. But they've struggled to predict weather extremes (e.g. strong storms, heat waves, heavy rains).
I wrote about one of the many teams of scientists looking to change that. 🧪 #AGU25 #wx @pedramh.bsky.social

This AI model ‘studied’ physics — and learnt to forecast extreme weather
Combining artificial intelligence with a conventional climate model can predict heatwaves faster than the standard model alone.

Can AI weather models predict out-of-distribution gray swan extremes? We report @pnas.org that the answer is NO for global gray swans, YES for regional ones: AI models can't extrapolate from weaker events but can learn from similar events in other regions during training! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
Can AI weather models predict out-of-distribution gray swan tropical cyclones? | PNAS
Predicting gray swan weather extremes, which are possible but so rare that they are
absent from the training dataset, is a major concern for AI wea...

Propagation and Periodicity of Mars's Northern Annular Mode Modulates the Dust Cycle
Mars's Northern Annular Mode (MNAM), diagnosed from a reanalysis dataset, propagates with a 150-day period, independent of the season Like Earth's, MNAM arises from feedbacks between the two lead...
