Job Description

Machine Learning Scientist (AI-based Weather Forecasting)

Recent advances in AI-based weather prediction have demonstrated remarkable skill and computational efficiency. However, most current machine-learning weather prediction (MLWP) systems rely primarily on NWP analyses for initialization and only partially exploit the wealth of available satellite observations. With the advent of the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG), new high-frequency and high-resolution measurements of clouds, moisture, temperature, and lightning activity provide unprecedented opportunities for substantially improving regional forecasts.

Project background

Within the framework of a Research Fellowship supported by EUMETSAT, we are advancing the integration of geostationary satellite observations into a next-generation regional MLWP system. The project builds on an existing graph-based, stretched-grid regional forecasting model developed at MeteoSwiss and is embedded in the Anemoi fra...
