But they do expect forecasts to get really a lot better over the coming decades.

López Gómez explains the results of his and his colleagues'

The main way that we currently have to obtain information or projections about the future climate is to use the so-called global climate models.

These models enable us to peak hundreds of years into the future, but they do so at coarse resolutions, so resolutions of hundreds of kilometers.

Regional climate models enable us to take that invaluable information at coarse scales and translate that into fine-scale information that then stakeholders can use to make actionable predictions.

You can take these generative AI models, train them on real-world data, and they can produce, for instance, realistic videos or images if you train them from films.

So the same way that we do that in media and in video, we can use generative AI models trained on historical weather patterns to essentially simulate the dynamics of weather systems at fine scales.
