Abstract
This paper introduces FuXi, a cascaded machine learning (ML) weather forecasting system capable of producing 15-day global forecasts at a 6-hour temporal and 0.25° spatial resolution. Trained on 39 years of ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis data, FuXi's performance is comparable to the ECMWF ensemble mean (EM) for 15-day forecasts, surpassing the ECMWF HRES in skillful forecast lead time. FuXi's ensemble, generated by perturbing initial conditions and model parameters, provides forecast uncertainty estimates.
