Can Machines Learn to Predict Weather? Using Deep Learning to Predict Gridded 500‐hPa Geopotential Height From Historical Weather Data

Abstract We develop elementary weather prediction models using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on past weather data to forecast one or two fundamental meteorological fields on a Northern Hemisphere grid with no explicit knowledge about physical processes. At forecast lead times up...
