Google发布WeatherNext 3高分辨率AI天气模型并接入自有产品

Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) launched its most accurate and advanced global weather model, providing rapid weather prediction at “unprecedented resolution.” Using artificial intelligence, WeatherNext 3 learns from real-time observations, using raw satellite data to produce a forecast every hour. The model makes weather forecasts accessible across Google products worldwide. The model was developed by Google DeepMind and Google Research and is able to visualize temperature and moisture at a 5-kilometer resolution, other surface variables at a 10-kilometer resolution, and atmospheric variables like wind speed at 25 kilometers. This provides a weather picture 5x sharper than the previous WeatherNext 2 model and is significantly faster than the 6-hour lag with current weather models. “By ingesting a mosaic of live, global geostationary satellite data, our new model gains a rich, continuously updating view of the atmosphere. This allows the model to generate a new forecast every hour, each one grounded in the most recent satellite observations available, at up to 5-kilometer resolution,” the company said in its announcement . With a sharper and more accurate weather prediction model, WeatherNext 3 can be a valuable tool for clean energy providers as well as commodity traders, supply chain managers, raw material providers, and transportation operators.
