Microsoft has announced the development of a new AI model for weather prediction, expected to revolutionise the field of meteorology.
Microsoft stated, “In response to the limitations faced by advanced AI systems in weather forecasting, we have developed the Aurora model, an AI designed to extract valuable insights from comprehensive atmospheric datasets.”
Known as Project Mesa, this model leverages advanced machine-learning techniques to process vast amounts of weather data, enabling it to provide more accurate and comprehensive forecasts for temperature, precipitation, and wind.
Project Mesa can process data much faster than traditional models, allowing for real-time weather predictions and more frequent updates.
Microsoft has trained the Aurora model with over a million hours of weather and climate simulations, allowing it to develop a thorough understanding of atmospheric dynamics.
This capability enables the model to excel in various forecasting tasks, even in regions with limited data or extreme weather conditions.
