“[The Google WeatherNext AI team] are showing how the WeatherNext AI model from Google DeepMind and Google Research has achieved state-of-the-art accuracy in predicting a cyclone's track, intensity, and wind structure. On average, the WeatherNext Cyclones model gives forecasters an extra day’s worth of predictive accuracy- delivering an advance equivalent to roughly a decade of historical meteorological progress 🌀
Here is how WeatherNext is transforming cyclone forecasting:
• Gaining an Extra Day of Advanced Warning: WN 3-day forecasts are as good as what prior models were able to provide for 2-day forecasts, giving critical time for emergency response.
• Overcoming Traditional Trade-offs: WN bridges the gap between massive global atmospheric currents (which steer a cyclone's path) and fine-grained thermodynamic processes around its core (which drive its intensity) into a single AI model.
• Unprecedented Ensemble Scale: Using Functional Generative Networks (FGNs), WN now generates 1,000-member ensembles in less than a minute on a TPU to capture rare, consequential tail-risks like sudden rapid intensification – which means forecasters can see a broader range of possible scenarios.
• Real-World Impact: During the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, the WN model helped the National Hurricane Center (NHC) make a historic forecast for Hurricane Melissa by predicting rapid intensification and landfall five days in advance.
[The] teams are open sourcing the operationalized models (WeatherNext Cyclones and WeatherNext 2), alongside a compact version (WeatherNext 2-mini) that can run on a single TPU in a free public Colab notebook – all with a goal of empowering local organizations worldwide.
Weather affects everyone. By combining advanced AI with the real-world expertise of human forecasters, we can build a collaborative ecosystem that saves lives and helps communities adapt to a changing climate…”

“Strong winds from landfalling #TropicalCyclones cause severe impact to both coastal and inland populations worldwide each year. In the United States alone, tropical cyclones remain the most destructive weather-related disasters, with total losses amounting to US$1.3 trillion—an average of US$22.8 billion per event”: https://journalofcrr.com/research/04-05-mani-et-al/

🌊 How ocean eddies affect the intensity of #TropicalCyclones (TCs) 🌪️
A new #MPIM study using a 5km global #ICON simulation shows that TCs crossing more cold than warm eddies intensify more slowly & stay weaker on average, + there is preliminary evidence of the opposite effect when a TC passes over more warm than cold eddies. The global effect is a net weakening. The study suggests that accounting for mesoscale ocean turbulence could improve TC forecasts.

🌪️For the first time, scientists have resolved extremely intense #TropicalCyclones & their effect on the ocean #CarbonCycle in the global Earth system model #ICON. Simulating two category‑4 #hurricanes in the North Atlantic, Nielsen et al. show a cascade of physical‑biogeochemical effects including CO₂ uptake and a regional-scale phytoplankton bloom.

We're The Weather System (Athena's Realm System), We're Trans fem, and we're an officially diagnosed autistic, bipolar and dissociative identity disorder system, we a collection of various leftist, and believe strongly in queer, and neurodiversity rights movements, we view plurality in general as neurodivergence
Our pronouns are Su/Sudo/Suselves, however She/Her/Herselves, and They/Them/Theirselves
Languages: Our L1 is English, we have previous done some work on Esperanto, and Latin, we picked up some French due to frequently seeking information in french resources, and we're currently learning Japanese, right now English is the only language we can reliably produce anything in, likely since we tend to learn languages for literature access, but plan to attempt to add japanese to the list of languages we can produce output for, and maybe french and esperanto in the future, growing up we did start learning Taiwanese Mandarin and German however with both most of that has been lost though we did retain some residual hanzi knowledge that seem to reawaken when we started working on kanji.
We are most likely to toot about #Medicine, with focus on #Genetics, #Epigenetics, #Bioinformatics, and #Neuroscience giving our focus back in uni was Genetics of Human Disease, and Neuroscience but we are likely to talk about a whole range of medical topics, besides medicine we are likely to toot about #meteorology and #geology, with specific interests in #SynopticMeteorology #TropicalCyclones / #Hurricanes / #Typhoons / #TropicalStorms, #ExtratropicalCyclones, #SubtropicalCyclones, and #Tornadoes, among other topic, and we may toot about #Geology, #Minerals, and #Vulcanology, and what ever else is on our mind, we collected #MyLittlePony and are a fan of every generation of MLP, also we collect #WildManes, as well as #MonsterHigh and #LittlestPetShop and Radioactive stuff and play #EliteDangerous
edit extra info: [Also to note we're storm chasers, so we may occasionally post photos and media from chases, our focus is usually on Tropical Cyclones within the Australian Region Basin with mainly focus on the Coral Sea, these will usually be marked with the Tropical Cyclone and Hurricane tags]
See attached thread for System Information, System Membership 58+
Our system name is subject to change, it was previously the Athena's Realm System, however only one member, arguably two members made that decision on behalf of the entire system, without consulting us, so we're in the process of trying out system names to see which fits us best, but for the time being we will display both "Athena's Realm" and the current trialing system name so it is less confusing for those who know us by our old system name -
A busy #hurricane season is expected. Here’s how it will be different from the last
A warm -- yet no longer record-hot -- strip of waters across the #Atlantic #Ocean is forecast to help fuel development of 17 named #tropicalcyclones during the season that runs from June 1 through Nov. 30, according to Colorado State University researchers. Of those tropical cyclones, nine are forecast to become #hurricanes, with four of those expected to reach "major" hurricane strength.

Tropical cyclone (Storm 🌪️)
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with a low-pressure area, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain and squalls. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is called a hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic st...

I’m currently watching this live stream from established storm chasers James Reynolds and Mark Thomas who are currently in Baler, Aurora, #Philippines 🇵🇭, very close to where Typhoon #ManYi / #PepitoPH is about to make a second landfall.

“The Japan Meteorological Agency reported that it was the first time since records began in 1951 that so many storms co-existed in the Pacific basin in November.”
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/153575/typhoons-line-up-in-the-western-pacific
While I wasn’t affected too much by recent storms / #typhoons (at worst it was just rainy weather), the incoming #ManYi / #PepitoPH is likely the closest to approach #Manila, #Philippines 🇵🇭 .

Today is the 11th anniversary of Typhoon #YolandaPH / #Haiyan devastating the #Philippines 🇵🇭 in 2013 and resulting in over 6,300 lives lost. Eleven years on, Yolanda is still the deadliest typhoon during the 21st century.
To mark this date, I am reposting this Day 18 map (Atmosphere) I did for last year’s #30DayMapChallenge.

It seems they never interpolated the storm tracks resulting in these weird strings of circles and arcs? And what’s up with the lack of data in the south? While #TropicalCyclones typically don’t form near nor approach the equator, the hard cutoff at around the 6.6°N latitude is an interesting choice.
Anyway, I can spot 2012’s Typhoon #Bopha / #PabloPH in #Mindanao and 2013’s Typhoon #Haiyan / #YolandaPH in the #Visayas, which tells me that they did use historical data.

It seems that the forecast that Tropical Storm #Trami / #KristinePH will loop back eastward just before #Vietnam 🇻🇳 is still on track. What’s worrying is that the Japan Meteorological Agency is seeing the track veering south which means that the storm will likely hit the #Philippines 🇵🇭 a second time.
There’s also the new Tropical Storm #KongRey / #LeonPH that while not expected to make a landfall in the Philippines will still have a wider effect.

Eep! 😱 While I am not personally severely affected by Tropical Storm #Trami / #KristinePH (we’ve had some moderate wind and rain), the fact that this system is moving extremely slow and is dumping tons of rain is very concerning for those in the storm’s path. The Bicol Region a few hundred kilometers southeast of Manila is already experiencing way too much flooding.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, #MetroManila, #Philippines 🇵🇭 had just entered the area where gale-force winds are expected (yellow circle, > 30kt) due to Tropical Storm #Trami / #KristinePH. While there are no storm-strong winds yet (red circle, > 50kt), Trami is expected to intensify to typhoon strength (see red cone) one it reaches past the West Philippine Sea heading to #Vietnam 🇻🇳.

"A study co-led by researchers at Rowan University, US, NTU Singapore and the University of Pennsylvania, US, reveals that #TropicalCyclones in #SoutheastAsia are now forming closer to coastlines, intensifying more rapidly, and lingering longer over land.
These changes, driven by #ClimateChange, heighten risks for tens of millions in coastal areas, with cities like Hai Phong, Yangon, and Bangkok facing unprecedented threats from longer-lasting and more intense storms."
