Annual Seminar 2026

Advancing the assimilation of Earth system observations with new methodology and Machine Learning Data Assimilation continues to underpin all operational weather forecasting, initialising physics-based models as well as initialising and training data-driven models. The 2026 Annual Seminar will look at how the deployment of Machine Learning (ML) technology and innovative methodology is changing the way we assimilate observations for numerical weather prediction, atmospheric composition and...

#Google’s #DeepMind #hurricanemodel, the first AI model dedicated to hurricanes, is outperforming traditional #weatherforecasting models. By identifying patterns that traditional models may miss, DeepMind provides faster and more accurate predictions. While it excels at predicting hurricane paths, it occasionally struggles with intensity forecasts. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/nov/16/google-deepmind-hurricane-forecast?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Aurora: A Foundation Model for the Earth System

"Trained on vast amounts of data, it’s tuned to model the Earth’s systems. Aurora has already shown promise across multiple scenarios, including predicting the weather, tracking hurricanes and air quality, and modeling ocean waves and energy flows."

I first saw this in a Microsoft newsletter, and traced it through a Nature paper and a Github repo. It might be fun to play with!

Good article reflecting what is known, what is not known, and what has improved in the fifty years since the shipwreck.

"In the century prior to the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, there were more than 6,000 shipwrecks on the Great Lakes, including two in the previous 20 years that killed more than 20 sailors each.

"In the 50 years since, there hasn’t been a single one."

50 years later, the legacy of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald looms as large as ever

The exact cause of the Edmund Fitzgerald’s sinking is still a mystery, but the lasting legacy is this: There were more than 6,000 shipwrecks on the Great Lakes in the century prior to the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Not one commercial vessel has sunk since.
