In the first instalment of the WeatherGenerator Science Explainer series, Even Nordhagen from Norwegian Meteorological Institute explains how the WeatherGenerator goes beyond traditional weather models, directly predicting energy - relevant variables like wind power output and reservoir inflow, without the need for separate downstream models.

With a built-in long-term memory, the system can track slow-building processes like snowpack and soil moisture, and ultimately learn the full chain from atmospheric conditions to electricity markets.
