With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), the path and intensity of devastating storms can be predicted with increasing accuracy. A study based on an analysis of Hurricane Ciaran, which hit Europe in November 2023, compared artificial intelligence and traditional means of weather forecasting, where this was reflected. The University of Reading study, published in NPJ Climate & Atmospheric Science, highlights the potential of AI in weather forecasting. Ciaran killed 16 people in northern Europe and left more than a million homes in France without power.
Better than traditional predictive models
The researchers used four AI models for comparison. AI models developed by technology giants such as Google, Nvidia and Huawei were able to predict and track the intensity of the storm up to 48 hours in advance. The researchers said the predictions are undetectable by traditional forecasting models.
save money and time
The researchers say there is an urgent need to further explore the use of artificial intelligence in weather forecasting to better protect people from extreme weather such as Hurricane Ciaran. The development of machine learning models may mean that AI will be routinely used in weather forecasting in the near future, saving time and money.
