  I. Pain Points of Traditional Weather Forecasting and the Breakthrough of AI

  As the first line of defense for disaster prevention and mitigation, weather forecasting has long faced three challenges: limited accuracy—traditional numerical models have a forecast accuracy rate of less than 50% for small- and medium-scale severe convective weather (such as thunderstorms and strong winds), and forecasting blind spots are particularly pronounced for weather without frontal triggers, such as rainstorms in warm regions; delayed timeliness—lead time for extreme weather warnings is often less than 30 minutes, making it difficult to meet the needs of personnel evacuation and facility protection; and weak scenario adaptability—generalized forecasts cannot meet the refined needs of industries like agriculture and transportation. For example, kilometer-level precipitation forecasts required for forage cultivation in pastoral areas have long been lacking.

  The introduction of AI technology has established a new closed loop of "data fusion - intelligent prediction - precise service," achieving three major breakthroughs: a leap in spatiotemporal accuracy (from kilometers to hundreds of meters, and from hours to minutes); extended warning timeliness (lead time for severe convective warnings exceeds one hour); and deeper scenario customization (enabling industry-specific weather services). The China Meteorological Administration's "Fenglei" AI nowcasting system has demonstrated a 40% improvement in heavy rainfall forecast accuracy compared to traditional models, achieving zero casualties in disaster prevention efforts in Henan, Guangdong, and other regions.

  II. Core Technical Architecture and Capabilities of AI-Powered Weather Forecasting

  1. Multi-Source Data Fusion and Intelligent Analysis

  Global Data Integration: This system integrates data from multiple sources, including Fengyun satellites, Doppler radar, and ground-based observation stations, through a distributed computing architecture to achieve second-level synchronization of three-dimensional "air, space, and ground" data. For example, the Liaoning Provincial Meteorological Bureau integrated data from 11 radar sources to build a precipitation monitoring network covering Northeast China, increasing data update frequency to every six minutes.

  Noise Filtering and Feature Extraction: A convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to process radar echo data, automatically filtering out cloud and rain interference signals and accurately identifying key features such as thunderstorm cloud top height and vertical wind shear. The algorithm developed by the Guangdong Meteorological Department can extract the "weather fingerprint" of thunderstorms and strong winds, achieving a recognition accuracy rate exceeding 90% and a TS score of 0.5, a leading domestic standard. Cross-modal data association: Deeply integrates meteorological data with geographic information and humanities data. For example, the Jinan Meteorological Bureau combines topographic data with precipitation forecasts to generate 5m x 5m resolution flooding warning maps, accurately locating waterlogging points and impact areas.

  2. All-Time Forecast AI Model System

  Short-Term Forecasting: The "Fengqing" AI model uses the Transformer architecture to learn the laws of global ocean-air interactions, improving the accuracy of 7-day precipitation forecasts by 15%. Its predictions for the 2024 flood season precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are highly consistent with actual conditions.

  Short-Term Nowcasting: The "Fenglei" system uses deep learning to extrapolate radar echoes, significantly improving the accuracy of 0-3 hour severe convection forecasts. During an extreme rainstorm in Henan, it accurately predicted the core precipitation area 24 hours in advance, buying time for residents to evacuate.

  Sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasting: The "Fengshun" model innovatively introduces flow-dependent ensemble perturbation technology, improving global seasonal precipitation forecasting capabilities by 20% and enabling three-month advance warning of El Niño's impact on agriculture.

  3. Disaster Warning and Industry Adaptability

  Intelligent Generation of Tiered Warnings: Using reinforcement learning algorithms to dynamically adjust warning thresholds, Guangdong's AI-powered thunderstorm and gale warning system, for example, can automatically issue, upgrade, and cancel warning signals. The average lead time for warnings reached 69 minutes in 2024, with an accuracy rate of 95%.

  Industry-Customized Services: A three-dimensional optimization model for agricultural development, "water resources - production capacity - carbon sequestration," is developed using remote sensing and AI fusion to accurately identify optimal forage planting zones with over 85% accuracy. High-temperature road surface monitoring products are also developed for the transportation sector to support logistics scheduling decisions.

  Emergency Response Coordination: Integration with flood control and emergency management systems automatically delivers evacuation plans. During a torrential downpour in Hefeng County, Hubei Province, an AI-powered forecast triggered a red alert 50 minutes in advance, guiding residents to successfully evacuate.

  III. Typical Application Cases and Practical Results

  1. Extreme Weather Prevention: Heavy Rain in Henan and Thunderstorms in Guangdong

  Henan's "Progressive Warning": Integrating the ZY-RUC rapid assimilation system with a deep learning model, forecast conclusions were submitted to the flood control meeting 48 hours in advance. By rolling out short-term forecasts, a seamless "forecast-warning-response" process was achieved. This ensured the safe evacuation of over 100,000 people during the extreme heavy rainfall, with no fatalities from flooding.

  Guangdong's Warm-Sector Heavy Rainfall Breakthrough: Using a "similarity correction algorithm" to retrieve historical heavy rainfall "weather fingerprints," the forecasting challenge of no frontal triggers was overcome. The accuracy of warm-sector heavy rain forecasts for the pre-2024 flood season increased by 70%, and the TS score improved by 21% compared to the EC model, providing critical support for flood control in cities in the Pearl River Delta.

  2. Precision Typhoon Management: Hainan's Defense Against Typhoon Makar

  Leveraging the "Tropical Cyclone Formation Trend Outlook" AI product, Typhoon Makar's landfall point (Wenchang) was predicted four days in advance, and extreme precipitation areas in the southwestern mountainous areas were identified three days in advance. Township-level wind and rain forecasts were used to guide fishing boats back to port and scenic spots closed, minimizing disaster losses.

  3. Empowering Ecology and Agriculture: Optimizing Forage in the Yellow River Basin

  The AI-remote sensing fusion technology developed by the Institute of Space Science and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences integrates satellite observations, hydrological models, and ground-based data to infer factors such as irrigation water use and vegetation productivity (with over 90% accuracy). This technology generates an optimal forage planting distribution map for the middle reaches of the Yellow River, providing a decision-making tool for achieving win-win results in ecological agriculture under water resource constraints.

  IV. Industry Challenges and Future Evolution

  1. Existing Core Bottlenecks

  Inadequate Prediction Capabilities for Complex Scenarios: AI models have low accuracy in data-sparse areas such as plateaus and oceans. For example, the TS score for severe convection forecasts on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is only 0.08. Model generalization is limited by the scarcity of samples for rare extreme weather events (such as super typhoons).

  Data Barriers and Computing Power Constraints: Meteorological data standards vary across different departments, resulting in low fusion efficiency. High-resolution forecasts require petabyte-level data processing, and single-machine computing power is insufficient to support real-time "minute-to-hundred-meter" computations.

  Lack of Model Interpretability: The "black box" nature of deep learning makes it difficult for forecasters to trace the causes of their conclusions, and some grassroots stations face trust barriers, often refusing to use forecasts or failing to understand how to use them.

  2. Technological Breakthroughs

  Multimodal Large Model Fusion: Build an integrated "observation-mechanism-statistics" model. For example, embedding physical process parameterization schemes into the Transformer architecture will improve forecast accuracy for complex terrain, with the goal of achieving a lead time of over 40 minutes for severe convection warnings on the plateau by 2027.

  Edge Computing and Real-Time Response: Deploy edge AI nodes at radar stations and meteorological observation points to localize data processing and reduce the short-term forecast update cycle from 10 minutes to 2 minutes, meeting the immediate needs of industries such as transportation and power.

  Human-Machine Collaborative Decision-Making System: Develop an interactive interface for "AI Suggestions - Manual Corrections," using visualization tools to display the model reasoning process (such as the weights of key influencing factors), and establish a two-way feedback mechanism for forecaster training and model iteration.
