German Scientists Develop High-Precision Model for Weather and Climate Forecasting

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have created a 1.25km-per-cell model, combining short-term and long-term forecasts. This breakthrough was made possible by increased computing power and new algorithms.


German Scientists Develop High-Precision Model for Weather and Climate Forecasting

In a recent scientific achievement, researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany have developed a model with a 1.25-kilometer resolution per cell, combining short-term weather forecasting with long-term climate modeling. The model covers the entire surface of the Earth and seas, comprising an estimated 336 million land and atmospheric cells, for a total of 672 million highly computed cells. For each cell, researchers perform a dynamic simulation of natural systems. According to 'Science Alert', weather forecasts are considered inaccurate, and climate modeling is more complex and volatile. Nevertheless, scientists have recently made a significant leap in their ability to predict the natural changes the Earth may face, thanks to more accurate models and a massive increase in computing power.
