Hybrid Physics–AI Forecast Stacks
Run physics and machine-learning weather forecasts as a deliberately diverse pair. Agreement can strengthen confidence; disagreement is the useful signal, triggering more observations, expert review, or a conservative warning. Operational resilience comes from models failing differently, not from declaring one forecasting tradition obsolete.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
ECMWF operates deterministic and ensemble AI forecasts alongside physics systems; its evaluations show model behavior changes with data and system updates.
