GenCast provides better forecasts of both day-to-day weather and extreme events than the top operational system, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts’ (ECMWF) ENS, up to 15 days in advance. We’ll be releasing our model’s code, weights, and forecasts, to support the wider weather forecasting community. [...] GenCast is a diffusion model, the type of generative AI model that underpins the recent, rapid advances in image, video and music generation. However, GenCast differs from these, in that it’s adapted to the spherical geometry of the Earth, and learns to accurately generate the complex probability distribution of future weather scenarios when given the most recent state of the weather as input. To train GenCast, we provided it with four decades of historical weather data from ECMWF’s ERA5 archive. This data includes variables such as temperature, wind speed, and pressure at various altitudes. The model learned global weather patterns, at 0.25° resolution, directly from this processed weather data. It's open source: https://github.com/google-deepmind/graphcast And here are the open-released model weights: https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/dm_graphcast Graphcast (the previous iteration) has public forecasts published at https://charts.ecmwf.int/?query=GraphCast , under a CC-BY-NC-SA-4 licence -- it would be great if the GenCast forecasts join this data set. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.15796 This all looks really great, a fantastic commitment to (genuine) openness and open data, and the paper seems rigorous (to this amateur).

Known in As Gaeilge as ‘Oiche na Gaoithe Moire’, the hurricane of 6th and 7th January 1839 made more people homeless in a single night than all the sorry decades of eviction that followed it. ]]> 1839 1830s 19th-century ireland turtle-bunbury history storms weather hurricanes https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:b3a9f21a61f5/ 2017-01-24T12:18:49+00:00 http://spectrum.ieee.org/cars-that-think/transportation/self-driving/toyota-gill-pratt-on-the-reality-of-full-autonomy jmThe most important thing to understand is that not all miles are the same. Most miles that we drive are very easy, and we can drive them while daydreaming or thinking about something else or having a conversation. But some miles are really, really hard, and so it’s those difficult miles that we should be looking at: How often do those show up, and can you ensure on a given route that the car will actually be able to handle the whole route without any problem at all? Level 5 autonomy says all miles will be handled by the car in an autonomous mode without any need for human intervention at all, ever. So if we’re talking to a company that says, “We can do full autonomy in this pre-mapped area and we’ve mapped almost every area,” that’s not Level 5. That’s Level 4. And I wouldn’t even stop there: I would ask, “Is that at all times of the day, is it in all weather, is it in all traffic?” And then what you’ll usually find is a little bit of hedging on that too. The trouble with this Level 4 thing, or the “full autonomy” phrase, is that it covers a very wide spectrum of possible competencies. It covers “my car can run fully autonomously in a dedicated lane that has no other traffic,” which isn’t very different from a train on a set of rails, to “I can drive in Rome in the middle of the worst traffic they ever have there, while it’s raining," which is quite hard. Because the “full autonomy” phrase can mean such a wide range of things, you really have to ask the question, “What do you really mean, what are the actual circumstances?” And usually you’ll find that it’s geofenced for area, it may be restricted by how much traffic it can handle, for the weather, the time of day, things like that. So that’s the elaboration of why we’re not even close. ]]> autonomy driving self-driving cars ai robots toyota weather https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:dc4fa5009a0e/ 2016-04-04T16:09:19+00:00 http://www.shanelynn.ie/wet-rainy-cyling-commute-in-ireland-with-wunderground-and-python/ jmIt turns out that you’ll get wet 3 times more often if you’re a Galway cyclist when compared to a Dubliner. Dublin is Ireland’s driest cycling city.

The switch was so obscure that neither of his bosses knew what he was talking about. "What the hell's that," blurted out Gerald Carr, who was in charge of communicating with the capsule. The rookie flight director, Gerry Griffin, didn't know either. Sixty seconds had passed since the initial lightning strike. No one else knew what to do. The call to abort was fast approaching.  Finally, Carr reluctantly gave the order in a voice far cooler than the moment.

In a word, no. Specifically, after running this data, I would not trust a forecast high temperature more than a week out. I’d rather look at the normal (historical average) temperature for that day than the forecast. Similarly, I would not even look at a precipitation forecast more than 6 days in advance, and I wouldn’t start to trust it for anything important until about 3 days ahead of time.]]> accuweather accuracy fail graphs data weather forecasting philadelphia https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:520b716f8dcc/ 2013-01-02T16:02:47+00:00 http://irishmansdiary.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/keep-predicting-and-youll-be-right-eventually/ jm ken-ring weather predictions ireland rain https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:24590af65d98/ 2012-06-27T11:49:45+00:00 http://weatherspark.com/#!dashboard;a=Ireland/COUNTY_DUBLIN/Dublin;rd=6;ropts=alpha:0.7,loop:1,speed:6;fcs=1;msl=temperatureC;mol=overlayNothing;units=temperature:c;graphs=siitg:1,precipitation:0,spaitg:1,saf:0,windIcons:1,precipitationRate:0,windSpeed:0,pressure:0,precipitationAmount:0,solarPosition:0,clouds:0,subZero2:0,stidpg:0,dewPoint:0,temperature:1,smeisg:1,tiles:0,sdpitg:0,humidity:0,windDirection:0 jm via:unamullally dataviz temperature forecasts weather graphing percentiles wind rain https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:9ae526bff134/ 2011-11-14T11:39:29+00:00 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=60783 jm weather ice cycling commute snow bikes https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:cad27f51c776/ 2011-11-02T22:11:39+00:00 http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jackadam/dark-sky-hyperlocal-weather-prediction-and-visuali jm crowdfunding weather apps cool dataviz visualization https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:11431347c460/ 2010-05-13T10:46:01+00:00 http://www.yr.no/verkart/1.7103434 jm europe volcano norway yr.no met.no weather ash snap modelling forecasts https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:589cae3a1eed/ 2010-05-09T11:33:17+00:00 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/aviation/vaac/vaacuk_vag.html jm airports hazards iceland travel maps weather volcanic-ash ash forecast europe met-office holidays ash-cloud https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:e7907ab3136d/ 2010-01-12T20:59:02+00:00 http://russ.garrett.co.uk/2010/01/10/semi-realtime-satellite-desktop-backgrounds/ jm weather desktop image satellite realtime backgrounds https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:b56bda56c3a1/ 2010-01-12T11:40:04+00:00 http://www.sct.ie/store/product/31695/Zamberlan-Snow-Chains/ jm chains ice snow shoes boots footwear weather crampons https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:5c343882ac86/ 2010-01-11T14:02:33+00:00 http://irelandsweather.com/ jm weather data mapping ireland live https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:946d15c375a5/ 2010-01-07T11:22:11+00:00 http://www.face.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=2055780632 jm snow weather commute mobility chains driving https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:323bd2b057bd/ 2009-08-19T13:13:51+00:00 http://www.yr.no/place/Ireland/Dublin/Dublin/hour_by_hour.html jm via:smulcahy norway met-eireann ireland weather rain dublin yr.no taxes https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:6b2b05ee719a/ 2009-08-17T21:11:30+00:00 http://ithurtstonotbreathe.blogspot.com/2009/08/socializing-weather.html jm eidw taf terminal-area-forecasts aviation flying pilots met-eireann weather forecasts government https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:e56f031c0186/
