Thanks, I'll certainly take a look. I know some unquestionably clever data experts (you know them too) who remain very sceptical of AI-based predictions

I hope , Aardvark helps us to get better weather forecasts than what we get today. But even today countries like Norway produce good forecasts. I wonder if they use Aardvark.

No. Norway uses the AROME Arctic Model.

I know a gentleman who spent almost half his life trying to build a decent weather prediction system for India. His name too is Sinha, Uday Narayan Sinha. All that work blown away too?

Sans doute.

Even though the paper was published yesterday (March 20, 2025), it was written almost two years ago. There was a seminar early last year. I asked Rich Turner (one of the authors of the paper - and the main driving force) about purely numerical models of weather forecasting. He was very categorical about the end of those differential equation models.

You can hear him talking about Aardvark last year.
