📢 Time to share a project I’ve been working on: Forecasting Global Weather with Graph Neural Networks 🧵 (1/N)

🙌 Hey, it's World Meteorological Day! This year's theme: early warning & early action. In NZ, I'm leading a project to predict droughts weeks to months in advance with Neelesh Rampal Tristan Meyers Chris Brandolino 🌵 GEFS-35 day + deep learning 👀 x.com/NiwaWeather/st…

Stoked to have won the best talk at ICSHMO2022!

📢#MachineLearning Workshop next week! Sophisticated #ML techniques are moving towards operational use. This workshop will discuss applications for #NumericalWeatherPrediction & #climate services. Join the livestream from 09:40 BST Tue 29 March #MLWS2022 bit.ly/3iCqiHi

Excellent work RiskScape team! 🎉👏

“We can change the script, we know what’s driving it and it’s us” – NIWA’s Dr Andrew Lorrey spoke to The Panel about the continued loss of snow and ice revealed by the latest survey of more than 50 South Island glaciers. rnz.co.nz/audio/player?a… 📸Ivory Glacier, Gregor Macara

Why do some models exaggerate warming? It's about the clouds. Better modelling of supercooled liquid clouds means we don't get increased reflection of incoming sunlight as the planet warms bit.ly/3ucqTpN Olaf Morgernstern of @niwa_nz and Deep South Challenge: Changing with our Climate The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed the way that we do climate science, and we are using it to understand how rainfall patterns over New Zealand may shift under a changing climate. Here is a small snippet of how we are using AI to enhance climate p…lnkd.in/dewNZcEb

Extremely excited and humbled that our Smart Idea proposal (co-lead with Neelesh Rampal) was funded We will be working on creating a regional climate model emulator from scratch with AI that can better simulate climate extremes 🌩️💦🌨️

Why is precipitation increasing so fast at Macquarie Island over the Southern Ocean (~25% increase since 1979) and why does ERA5 miss so much of it? wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Funded by MBIE’s Endeavour fund, NIWA researchers are developing a physics-informed and AI-driven method to vastly reduce the computer power needed to provide accurate climate change projections. 🖥️ Find out more here 👉 niwa.co.nz/climate/resear…

Long time in the making, but stoked to have our research in a journal finally. Massive kudos to Peter Gibson for his hard work on the paper.

Awesome to get more of our research published! Well done Drew Lorrey and Nico!

Neelesh Rampal teaches us the difference between #linearregression and #convolutionalneuralnetworks #AMOS2022 AMOS CityofAdelaide Adelaide Convention Centre

This publication has been a long time coming, but stoked that we managed to finish this significant piece of work before Christmas!

Nice to finally publish this one!
