Researchers say Aardvark Weather uses thousands of times less computing power and is much faster than current systems
“This is a completely different approach to what people have done before.
The writing’s on the wall that this is going to transform things, it’s
going to be the new way of doing forecasting,” Turner said. He said the
model would eventually be able to produce accurate eight-day forecasts,
compared with five-day forecast at present, as well as hyper-localised
predictions.
Dr Scott Hosking, the director of science and innovation for environment
and sustainability at the Alan Turing Institute, said the breakthrough
could “democratise forecasting” by making powerful technologies available
to developing nations around the world, as well as assisting policymakers,
emergency planners and industries that rely on accurate weather forecasts.
