Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Probabilistic weather forecasting is critical for decision-making in
high-impact domains such as flood forecasting, energy system planning or
transportation routing, where quantifying the uncertainty of a forecast --
including probabilities of extreme events -- is essential to guide important
cost-benefit trade-offs and mitigation measures. Traditional probabilistic
approaches rely on producing ensembles from physics-based models, which sample
from a joint distribution over spatio-temporally coherent weather trajectories,
but are expensive to run. An efficient alternative is to use a machine learning
(ML) forecast model to generate the ensemble, however state-of-the-art ML
forecast models for medium-range weather are largely trained to produce
deterministic forecasts which minimise mean-squared-error. Despite improving
skills scores, they lack physical consistency, a limitation that grows at
longer lead times and impacts their ability to characterize the joint
distribution. We introduce GenCast, a ML-based generative model for ensemble
weather forecasting, trained from reanalysis data. It forecasts ensembles of
trajectories for 84 weather variables, for up to 15 days at 1 degree resolution
globally, taking around a minute per ensemble member on a single Cloud TPU v4
device. We show that GenCast is more skillful than ENS, a top operational
ensemble forecast, for more than 96\% of all 1320 verification targets on CRPS
and Ensemble-Mean RMSE, while maintaining good reliability and physically
consistent power spectra. Together our results demonstrate that ML-based
probabilistic weather forecasting can now outperform traditional ensemble
systems at 1 degree, opening new doors to skillful, fast weather forecasts that
are useful in key applications.
