Meteorology:
How AI and satellites make rain and shine
Source: Polytechnique insights
These are 3 short articles published by Polytechniques Insights, showing how the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in weather forecasting systems is bringing new perspectives to weather forecasting.
The first two articles, "New observation systems for weather forecasting" written by Pierre Tabary(deputy director of operations at Météo France's Direction des opérations pour la prévision [DirOP]) and "Better weather forecasting with new European satellites" written by Sébastien Léas, (forecaster at Météo-France). The authors recount the history and technological evolution of weather forecasting methods.
In the third and final article, "Artificial intelligence, a new ally for meteorologists" by Samuel Morin, Director of the Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques (CNRM), we learn how advances in AI (machine learning) have improved weather forecasting results. But AI also increases the execution of weather models, and consequently reduces the computational costs of conventional forecasting models.
