Determinism is dead, chaos reigns, and the night is long

While staring into uncertainty might sound abyssal and frightening, ensemble models have proven (to us, at least) that this isn’t the case. In today’s episode, we’re expl

NeuralGCM and the Hybrid Approach

Machine learning dominates the conversation, but what will happen to the centuries-old physical equations that built our understanding of the atmosphere? How are the two

End-to-end data-driven weather prediction

Where does the end begin? Where does the end end? And what the HELL is happening in the middle? These are some of the questions we tackle in this episode as we explore Aa

The limits of predictability

How far into the future can we actually predict the weather? Typically, this question is rhetorical, a slight (or smite⚡) against meteorologists everywhere after someone’
