The ML model forecast is still using the ERA5 data set and still requires an IFS analysis as a starting point. The ECMWF ENS, like all...

Indeed; in fact the vast majority of data used in NWP models come from indirect sources. These include infra red radiance data over the...

1: I still maintain you are wrong. I don't get the impression that Frank is averse to indirect measurement as a source of data, or...

I'm sorry to intervene in a post that was not specifically directed at me, but you are wrong. As an outside observer of the to and fro...

Not at all. ECMWF and the Met Office have far younger and better scientists than I am or was. I note what ECMWF is doing. I can see why...

You still have not explained how you would collect information such as starling murmurations, for example. And you are not explaining...

Sorry, but you are showing your blinkered attitude. If what you say is correct then you, as a data science expert could set up a totally...

In a nutshell, to know about weather somewhere, you have to know about weather everywhere. That truism will apply whether you are...

The atmosphere is a big heat engine. The tropical oceans are the main source of heat. Some years ago, there was an international...

We know that AIFS might do better than current NWP. But AIFS depends upon a NWP model. Do you really think that you can produce...

You and I agree that ML has the potential to become an important component in weather prediction. We differ on the matter of...

You seem to forget that the Met Office, NOAA, DWD etc are operational organisation. They have to run services to meet many needs from...

Clearly, you did not follow my train of thought. ML uses algorithms that learn from observed data to make predictions. Whether you like...

How useful would temperature be from a centrally heated house? What use would pressure be from a 4th floor flat? Such data might well be...

That is an odd interpretation of what I said. Yes, all data are useful. There must be some useful information there. I cannot help...
