New this hurricane season, scientists are leveraging artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy of tropical cyclone forecasts.
FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross spoke with Ferran Alet, a research scientist who works with Google DeepMind, about how these powerful computer systems are transforming the way meteorologists predict tropical cyclones.
Alet stated that unlike with conventional models that rely on extensive supercomputers and deterministic outputs, the AI approach generates multiple potential future scenarios in a fraction of the time.
"It used to take a supercomputer multiple hours to run a forecast. And now with AI, you do it...in about a minute to generate one of these forecasts," Alet stated.
