Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
NOAA's AIGFS, the AI Global Forecast System, is a machine-learning weather prediction model that generates global forecasts by learning patterns from historical atmospheric data rather than solving the full set of physical equations used by conventional numerical weather models. It produces multi-day global forecasts using a small fraction of the computing power required by traditional physics-based systems, completing a run in a fraction of the time.
