- The report describes an 11-day effective global forecast horizon and applications in disaster prevention and energy scheduling.
From review to weather services
China's Fengqing V1.0 AI ensemble weather forecasting system has recently passed its operational review and entered national meteorological services, IT Home reported on October 17, citing Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po. The National Meteorological Center led development with universities and research institutes. The report says training and iteration used the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin's AI4S computing infrastructure.
Forecasting uncertain weather
Fengqing combines a vision Transformer architecture with constraints from atmospheric physics to estimate uncertainty in weather developments. The report gives an effective global forecast horizon of 11 days and says worldwide simulations can run within minutes. Its intended operational uses include disaster prevention, transport, energy scheduling and environmental protection. The development team plans further improvements to forecast accuracy and range.
