• Abstract: Many systems used by society are extremely vulnerable to space weather events such as solar flares and geomagnetic storms which could potentially cause catastrophic damage. In recent years, many works have emerged to provide early warning to such systems by forecasting these events through some proxy, but these approaches have largely focused on a specific phenomenon. We present a sequence-to-sequence learning approach to the problem of forecasting global space weather conditions at an hourly resolution. This approach improves upon other work in this field by simultaneously forecasting several key proxies for geomagnetic activity up to 6 hours in advance. We demonstrate an improvement over the best currently known predictor of geomagnetic storms, and an improvement over a persistence baseline several hours in advance.

  We propose FengWu-Weather to Subseasonal (FengWu-W2S), which builds on the FengWu global weather forecast model and incorporates an ocean-atmosphere-land coupling structure along with a diverse perturbation strategy. Our hindcast results demonstrate that FengWu-W2S reliably predicts atmospheric conditions out to 3-6 weeks ahead, enhancing predictive capabilities for global surface air temperature, precipitation, geopotential height and intraseasonal signals such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Our ablation experiments on forecast error growth from daily to seasonal timescales reveal potential
