Google DeepMind's WeatherNext predicts cyclone track and intensity simultaneously

Google DeepMind has introduced WeatherNext Cyclones (WN-C), an AI system that predicts tropical cyclone tracks and intensities more accurately than specialized models, looking about a day further into the future. Despite using data with grid cells roughly 100 times coarser, it outperforms existing models. The approach uses Functional Generative Networks and was developed with the National Hurricane Center and other partners.
