China’s revolutionary AI program Fuxi 2.0 has broken new grounds for weather forecasting. Fuxi 2.0 boasts higher prediction accuracy than previous models and is 1,000 times faster, while also being cheaper and able to generate longer-term forecasts.

The Shanghai Academy of Artificial Intelligence for Science and Fudan University recently unveiled Fuxi 2.0, an upgraded AI-powered model, for climate and weather forecasting. It is expected to enhance early warning, risk management, and disaster prevention capabilities across China.

They are now exploring the model's application in maritime and aviation transportation, as well as the new energy sector. In terms of application in the aviation field, Fuxi 2.0 has pioneered the development of meteorological parameters such as low cloud cover and total cloud cover, which are of great concern to the aviation industry. As a result, it can help predict various weather phenomena that may be encountered during flights, such as icing, turbulence, and uneven light conditions, thereby improving flight experiences and reducing costs.

In the new energy sector, Fuxi 2.0 provides more accurate forecasts concerning wind speed, solar irradiance, and power generation. This helps optimize the efficiency of wind and solar power generation, balance the grid load, and reduce wind and solar power curtailment.
