In the energy world, this should be such a boon over the classic NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction; complex ML models), but I've not seen it implementated. Anyone with experience of these models over classic NWP?

Paper: https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/papers/weather... TLDR: the input data for the model now also includes real-time observations (satellite and weather stations) on top of the typical (re)analysis data, improving model resolution, run frequency and timestep frequency.

We'll put that link in the toptext as well. Thanks!

A few weather forecast sites in Europe have them on their websites. It's just another forecast you can select and compare in an ensemble.

Problem is that the WN3 grid is still quite rough (5km) - but a that's a brutal improvement for many places compared to many other global models.

Quite a few country-scale models go down to a 1-2km grid nowadays. This is very helpful in complex geography like mountains and alleys.

They even have an interactive world map with all the layers. It's so cool when an announcement comes with the actual goods.

I'm not seeing that kind of demo. I just see a video, a bunch of future-tense words about what could be done by someone, and the requisite hype.

Link?

edit: The link for the demo is as thus, https://deepmind.google.com/science/weatherlab
