Deep learning for twelve hour precipitation forecasts

Can AI learn from atmospheric data and improve weather forecasting? The neural network MetNet-2 achieves this by forecasting the fast changing variable of precipitation up to 12 h ahead more accurately and efficiently than traditional models based on hand-coded physics.
