According to Xinhua News Agency,Shanghai Artificial Intelligence LaboratoryAccording to the official WeChat account, the laboratory jointly released an AI weather forecast on the 1st with the National Meteorological Center, the National Meteorological Information Center, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and other institutions.Large ModelThe upgraded version of "Fengwu" - the global high-resolution AI weather forecast model "Fengwu GHR",For the first time, AI was used to model and forecast medium-term weather at the 10-kilometer level..
According to reports, the "Fengwu" model was released in April 2023 by the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in collaboration with the University of Science and Technology of China, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Shanghai Meteorological Observatory.Achieve global effective weather forecast time exceeding 10 days.
The large model released this time,The forecast resolution has been increased from the previous 0.25 degrees of longitude and latitude (25*25km) to 0.09 degrees of longitude and latitude (9*9km), corresponding to a surface area of about 81 square kilometers., the effective forecast duration increased from 10.75 days to 11.25 days. Ouyang Wanli, a leading scientist at the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, said, "The fully upgraded 'Fengwu' model is equivalent to a '4K HD version' artificial intelligence weather forecast model."
Officials also said that after the large model was unveiled last year, it was the first to make the effective global weather forecast time exceed 10 days.Subsequently, the paths of typhoons such as Tali and Kanu were accurately predicted..
Among the top ten scientific breakthroughs of 2023 announced by Science magazine, one item is "using AI to assist weather forecasting."
