A typhoon gave China’s AI weather models a real-world test — and one system reportedly narrowed down the storm’s landfall days in advance.
Chinese researchers are using AI models to respond to the country’s current weather conditions proactively.
According to Reuters, Shanghai AI Lab’s Fengwu predicted the typhoon’s landfall location and timing five days ahead to within about 30 kilometers and 30 minutes. The result highlights how AI-based forecasting systems could complement conventional weather models by producing useful predictions quickly and with less computing power.
Fengwu is one of several AI weather systems being developed in China…
