Why AI has trouble predicting the fury of hurricane intensity
Artificial intelligence has rapidly changed weather forecasting, and global AI weather models can now produce forecasts that rival some leading physics-based systems. The supplied report focuses on a remaining challenge: predicting hurricane intensity, although the available source excerpt does not specify why these forecasts remain difficult or describe a particular storm.
Artificial intelligence has transformed weather forecasting in recent years, according to Phys.org.
The report says global AI weather models can produce forecasts that rival some of the world’s best physics-based prediction systems. The supplied excerpt does not provide further details about the difficulties of forecasting hurricane intensity.
