AIML Research Seminar: The ghost of forecasts past

Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) is experiencing a turbulent upheaval. Machine learning (ML) promises to alter every aspect of the process, but integration of the new, fast ML-driven forecast systems is going slowly.

In this talk, Dr Maclean provided a light introduction to NWP as it has been for twenty years, and exciting recent developments and super-fast models. He closed with an optimistic look at the big open problems that remain and how they may be addressed by Maths + ML researchers working together.
