Machine learning tool developed to improve subseasonal weather forecasts

Researchers, including those from MIT, have developed a new machine learning tool aimed at enhancing subseasonal weather forecasts. This tool is designed to improve the accuracy of predictions for a timeframe spanning two to six weeks into the future. The work detailing these advancements in applying machine learning to meteorology has been published in the scientific journal Nature. While MIT News highlights the contributions of the researchers, The Verge specifically notes Microsoft's involvement with the new machine learning tool, suggesting a collaborative effort or Microsoft's support in its development. This development is presented as a pragmatic step towards more reliable long-range weather predictions.
