2025-01-16 A new climo drop down menu is available for departure/anomaly maps throughout StormVista to toggle between the NOAA standard 30-year normal (1991-2020) and the rolling 10-year normal (currently 2015-2024). Find them on the map panels and all the various composite and daily composite pages.
2025-01-16 Starting with today's 00z cycle, 6-hourly city extraction data is available via the API for the following AI models: aifs 00z, 06z, 12z, 18z out to F360 ai-fourcastnetv2-gfs-ens 00z out to F744, 12z out to F384 ai-fourcastnetv2-ecmwf-eps 00z out to F744, 12z out to F384 ai-graphcast-gdas-ecmwf-eps 00z, 06z, 12z, 18z out to F384 Please note that AI model offerings are more limited due to the finite number of variables they are trained with. Files for the AI models currently contain tmp2m, precip, tmp850, windspeed10, winddirection10, mslp, hgt500. More variables may be added as additional columns in the future as availability permits. Precip is not available for the ai-fourcastnetv2-gfs-ens or ai-fourcastnetv2-ecmwf-eps.

2024-12-20 SV WDD forecasts from the AI models will be upgraded with grid-correction support starting with the Saturday 12z (12/21) cycle this weekend. This should alleviate some of their cold bias, especially for Asia.

2024-11-27 New 250 mb heights and vorticity model maps added. See example here.
2024-11-22 StormVista launched a new version of Google DeepMind's GraphCast today. This updated version has a deeper training set from NOAA using the GDAS information to get closer to more recent weather (up to part of 2022). Base GraphCast:  pre-trained on ERA5 data from 1979 to 2017 and fine-tuned on HRES data from 2016 to 2021. NCEP modifications:  fine-tuned with NCEP’s GDAS data as inputs and ECMWF ERA5 data as ground truth from 20210323 to 20220901. You can read a bit more about it here: https://registry.opendata.aws/noaa-nws-graphcastgfs-pds/ SV is running two cycles a day (0z, 12z), initialized with the European Ensemble starting point data. The model schedule for this new one has been added (GraphCast-GDAS-ECMWF-EPS): https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/api/model-times Testing has been occurring for the past few weeks, so we have verification data to track as well: 6-10 Day upper level height performance has been strong: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/model-verification/model-compare/hgt500/ac/na/all/6-10 6-10 Day 2-meter temperature performance has been competitive: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/model-verification/model-compare/tmp2m/ac/na/all/6-10 The 11-15 day performance is competitive for the upper levels, but not as much at 2-meters. One footnote: Delivery reliability may vary at times depending on GPU availability unfortunately (there is high demand for it during this A.I. boom).
