AIFS-DOP: End-to-End Medium-Range Weather Prediction from Observations Alone with Machine Learning

Ewan Pinnington, Peter Lean, Mihai Alexe +8

We introduce the Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System for Direct Observation Prediction (AIFS-DOP). AIFS-DOP is trained on a 40-year harmonized dataset of gridded observation…

Using data assimilation tools to dissect GraphDOP

Patrick Laloyaux, Mihai Alexe, Eulalie Boucher +5

The Data Assimilation (DA) community has been developing various diagnostics to understand the importance of the observing system in accurately forecasting the weather. They usuall…

Learning Coupled Earth System Dynamics with GraphDOP

Eulalie Boucher, Mihai Alexe, Peter Lean +7

Interactions between different components of the Earth System (e.g. ocean, atmosphere, land and cryosphere) are a crucial driver of global weather patterns. Modern Numerical Weathe…

Learning from nature: insights into GraphDOP's representations of the Earth System

Peter Lean, Mihai Alexe, Eulalie Boucher +5

Through a series of experiments, we provide evidence that the GraphDOP model - trained solely on meteorological observations, using no prior knowledge - develops internal represent…

The ecological forecast limit revisited: Potential, actual and relative system predictability

Marieke Wesselkamp, Jakob Albrecht, Ewan Pinnington +3

Ecological forecasts are model-based statements about currently unknown ecosystem states in time or space. For a model forecast to be useful to inform decision makers, model valida…

Advances in Land Surface Model-based Forecasting: A comparative study of LSTM, Gradient Boosting, and Feedforward Neural Network Models as prognostic state emulators

Marieke Wesselkamp, Matthew Chantry, Ewan Pinnington +7

Most useful weather prediction for the public is near the surface. The processes that are most relevant for near-surface weather prediction are also those that are most interactive…
