The development of traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) relies on continuous advances in observation technology, data assimilation methods, numerical and parameterization algorithms, and the steady growth of computational resources, resulting in lengthy development cycles and relatively slow improvements in forecast skill. In recent years, machine learning (ML)-based weather forecasting models have advanced rapidly, and in some aspects, outperform traditional physical models, particularly in forecastin…

The gain

In a proof-of-concept test on 10 western Pacific typhoons from 2024, steering China's physical forecast model toward AI forecasts cut typhoon track errors by about 30%–40% and extended precipitation forecast lead time by about 2 days.

What this doesn’t fix

All experiments started from ERA5 reanalysis data because FuXi loses skill with CMA-GFS analyses (lead time fell 0.7 days in the Northern Hemisphere and 2.0 days in the Southern Hemisphere in July 2024), and the full 4D-Var system is not yet complete.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page

Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2557 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
