Advances and prospects of deep learning for medium-range extreme weather forecasting
Published version of a preprint
Abstract
In recent years, deep learning models have rapidly emerged as a stand-alone alternative to physics-based numerical models for medium-range weather forecasting. Several independent research groups claim to have developed deep learning weather forecasts that outperform those from state-of-the-art physics-based models, and operational implementation of data-driven forecasts appears to be drawing near. However, questions remain about the capabilities of deep learning models with respect to providing robust forecasts of extreme weather. This paper provides an overview of recent developments in the field of deep learning weather forecasts and scrutinises the challenges that extreme weather events pose to leading deep learning models. Lastly, it argues for the need to tailor data-driven models to forecast extreme events and proposes a foundational workflow to develop such models.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
