Researchers from the National Institute of Technology ( MIT ) have developed a machine learning system for analyzing climate forecasting . The technology , which supports the Sub - Seasonal Climate Forecast Rodeo ##meter , is designed to make predictions of temperature and precipitation anomalies up to six weeks before they occur . The MIT team combined historical weather - pattern recognition with machine learning techniques , and managed to outperform the US government ’s operational long - range forecasting system .
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a machine learning system for improved climate forecasting. The technology, which won the Sub-Seasonal Climate Forecast Rodeo competition, is designed to make predictions of temperature and precipitation anomalies up to six weeks before they occur. The MIT team combined historical weather-pattern recognition with machine learning techniques, and managed to outperform the US government’s operational long-range forecasting system.
