Rainfall and extreme events, under the microscope of an AI created by MIT scientists

Researchers from Microsoft Research and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new artificial intelligence tool designed to improve weather forecasting. The technology specifically targets and corrects recurrent errors found in traditional meteorological models. According to the presented findings, the AI tool significantly elevated the performance of forecasts issued between two and six weeks in advance, providing a more reliable approach to analyzing heavy rainfall and extreme weather events.
