• Abstract: While machine learning-based weather models hold significant promise, they struggle to predict the detailed structure of large-scale weather systems such as cyclonic storms. Regional models are constrained by limited historical records within fixed geographic boundaries, while global models are computationally expensive and often operate at resolutions too coarse to capture fine-grained storm dynamics. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Geospatial Diffusion-based Evolution Synthesis (GeoDES) model, a custom image-to-video diffusion model. By focusing generation strictly on the evolving storm structure, GeoDES synthesizes physically consistent, high-fidelity weather events suitable for stress-testing forecast models and expanding meteorological datasets. Evaluations demonstrate that GeoDES outperforms prior methods on key metrics, achieving $52\%$ lower Peak Vorticity Error and $8\%$ higher Anomaly Correlation Coefficient than the next strongest methods on the North Atlantic test set.

  Downscaling, a crucial task in meteorological forecasting, enables the reconstruction of high-resolution meteorological states for target regions. Previous downscaling methods lacked tailored designs for meteorology and encountered structural limitations. We propose a novel model called MambaDS, which enhances the utilization of multivariable correlations and topography information.

In the hydrodynamic modeling module, a geometry-adaptive physics-informed neural solver (GeoPINS) is introduced. Building upon GeoPINS, we propose a sequence-to-sequence GeoPINS model to handle long-term temporal series and extensive spatial domains in large-scale flood modeling.

  This work presents FengWu-GHR, the first data-driven global weather forecasting model running at the 0.09$circ$ horizontal resolution.
