China Meteorological Administration (CMA), in collaboration with Tsinghua University, has undertaken a significant upgrade to the Fengqing model. Fengqing is the data-driven model for global medium-range weather forecasting, leveraging the cutting-edge machine-learning techniques to provide weather forecasts beyond 10 days with a spatial-temporal resolution of 6 hours at 0.25o.

The Fengqing V1.5 has been released, which introduces an additional feature: forecasts of 6-hour accumulated precipitation. Verification indicates that within a 10-day period, Fengqing’s Threat Scores for precipitation are comparable to that of physics-based numerical prediction models.

 

How to access and run Fengqing model?

The Fengqing runnable model and its inference code are fully open-sourced, allowing users to set up and run their weather predictions efficiently. It can be accessed with more information as follows:

Should you have any questions on the Fengqing model, please do not hesitate to contact Dr Gong Yu by email: gongyu@cma.gov.cn

 

Look ahead

We look forward to engaging our users to improve the Fengqing model to better meet the needs and to advancing the AI weather forecasting through international cooperation.
