Product Introduction

 
GenCast is a state-of-the-art AI weather forecasting model designed by Google DeepMind, capable of delivering high-precision weather forecasts for up to 15 days. This innovative model leverages advanced machine learning techniques to analyze historical weather data and generate predictions, thereby enhancing the accuracy of weather forecasting beyond existing systems like the ECMWF ENS.
 

Key Features

 
  • High-Resolution Forecasts: Offers weather predictions with a resolution of 0.25°, ensuring detailed insights.
  • Improved Accuracy: More accurate than the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ENS system, outperforming it in 97.2% of test targets, especially beyond 36 hours.
  • AI Ensemble Model: Combines 50 or more forecasts to represent various potential weather trajectories, providing a comprehensive view of future weather scenarios.
  • Rapid Prediction Generation: Capable of generating a 15-day forecast in just 8 minutes using a single Google Cloud TPU v5.
  • Historical Data Training: Trained on 40 years of historical weather data from ECMWF's ERA5 dataset to learn global weather patterns effectively.
  • Public Accessibility: The model's code, weights, and prediction results will be publicly released to foster a broader weather forecasting community.

Product Data

 
  • Forecast Duration: Up to 15 days
  • Model Resolution: 0.25°
  • Training Data Duration: 40 years
  • Performance: Outperforms traditional systems (ENS) in extreme weather predictions, including high and low temperatures, and hurricane path forecasts.
