U-Cast: A Surprisingly Simple and Efficient Frontier Probabilistic AI Weather Forecaster
Salva Rühling Cachay, Duncan Watson-Parris, Rose Yu
AI-based weather forecasting now rivals traditional physics-based ensembles, but state-of-the-art (SOTA) models rely on specialized architectures and massive computational budgets,…
Zephyrus: An Agentic Framework for Weather Science
Sumanth Varambally, Marshall Fisher, Jas Thakker +14
Foundation models for weather science are pre-trained on vast amounts of structured numerical data and outperform traditional weather forecasting systems. However, these models lac…
Adapting While Learning: Grounding LLMs for Scientific Problems with Intelligent Tool Usage Adaptation
Bohan Lyu, Yadi Cao, Duncan Watson-Parris +3
Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate promising capabilities in solving scientific problems but often suffer from the issue of hallucination. While integrating LLMs with tools c…
Discovering Latent Causal Graphs from Spatiotemporal Data
Kun Wang, Sumanth Varambally, Duncan Watson-Parris +2
Many important phenomena in scientific fields like climate, neuroscience, and epidemiology are naturally represented as spatiotemporal gridded data with complex interactions. Infer…
ClimaQA: An Automated Evaluation Framework for Climate Question Answering Models
Veeramakali Vignesh Manivannan, Yasaman Jafari, Srikar Eranky +6
The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in climate science has recently gained significant attention. However, a critical issue remains: the lack of a comprehensive evaluation fram…
