Probabilistic weather forecasting with machine learning - Nature
GenCast, a probabilistic weather model using artificial intelligence for weather forecasting, has greater skill and speed than the top operational medium-range weather forecast in the world and provid...

So excited to share our Google DeepMind team's new Nature paper on GenCast, an ML-based probabilistic weather forecasting model: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
It represents a substantial step forward in how we predict weather and assess the risk of extreme events. 🌪️🧵

I'll be presenting GenCast, recently published in Nature, tomorrow Tuesday 8h45AM at #AMS2025 in room 339.
GenCast is a diffusion model that outperforms ENS, the top operational ensemble forecast, giving skillful probabilistic forecasts up to 15 days ahead.

I'll be at #AMS2025 next week alongside some other Google DeepMind colleagues behind GenCast/GraphCast. Excited to meet people, discuss ML for weather, and learn!

Can everyone come over from LinkedIn now 😅 There’s still more of the ML/Earth sciences community active on there than BlueSky I feel
Can’t believe there were like 6 months last year when I thought I would have to use LinkedIn as my primary social media platform

I love how William Shatner from Star Trek went to space and realised how horrible it is in contrast to our beautiful home planet.
My life goal used to be to help get humans to Mars. I’m so glad I realised how special Earth is and now work on better living here rather than leaving 🌍

Can incorporating AI improve precipitation in global weather and climate models?
Yes! In the latest NeuralGCM paper, we show that training on satellite-based precipitation results in significant improvements over traditional atmospheric models:

Neural general circulation models optimized to predict satellite-based precipitation observations
Climate models struggle to accurately simulate precipitation, particularly extremes and the diurnal cycle. Here, we present a hybrid model that is trained directly on satellite-based precipitation obs...

Quite happy with IceNet getting its 200th citation a little after its 3rd birthday ❄️🎂💻
IceNet began around the time when applying ML to Earth sciences was the stuff of hushed conversations in corridors. A few years later and its potential to revolutionise the field is indisputable. Lots more to do!
