The role of human meteorologists has undergone a significant transformation over the past decade, driven by the advent of faster computers and artificial intelligence (AI). In the early 2010s, I recall many hours manually analyzing raw data from weather stations, satellites, and radar systems. Forecast models were less advanced, requiring forecasters to rely heavily on experience and intuition to interpret the data and identify patterns.
If you had told me then that artificial intelligence would take over my tasks, you would have received a puzzled look. Today, sophisticated numerical weather prediction (NWP) models powered by supercomputers can process vast amounts of data in minutes, delivering highly accurate short- and medium-range forecasts. AI has further enhanced these capabilities by integrating machine...
