Excited to see a great new AI weather model from Google - WeatherNext3 - and to have it join the Brightband Operational WeatherBench leaderboard #OWB @brightbandtech @Google @GoogleDeepMind
Today, @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleResearch are introducing WeatherNext 3, our most advanced and accurate global weather AI model to date. It uses real-time satellite data to generate hourly high-resolution forecasts, precise precipitation forecasting, and clean energy variables. Most AI weather models are trained on data from numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, which come with a six-hour data lag. But by training on real-world observations, WeatherNext 3 is able to bypass these traditional constraints — meaning more people can get more accurate predictions to help them plan ahead. Starting today, WeatherNext 3 will power forecasts within Search, @GeminiApp, @GoogleMaps, Google Maps Platform Weather API and Google Earth Engine.

Congratulations on an outstanding model release to our friends at @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleResearch! Our team at @brightbandtech has been extremely impressed with this work, and we invite the community to see just how well this model performs at owb.brightband.com.
WeatherNext 3 is a major breakthrough in how we forecast global weather. ⛅ Developed with @GoogleResearch, the model learns directly from real-world, real-time observations to give more localized highly accurate predictions faster. 🧵
