EWE: an AI Weather Detective for Extreme Events

Extreme weather is hitting harder and more often, but diagnosing the “why” behind each event is slow and expert-heavy. Meet EWE (Extreme Weather Expert): an AI agent that acts like a weather detective.

• Thinks like experts: Plans analyses, reasons step-by-step, and uses a meteorology toolkit.
• Works end-to-end: Turns raw atmospheric data into maps, charts, and plain-language findings.
• Built for trust: Closed-loop checks help it catch mistakes and explain its steps.
• New benchmark: 103 real, high-impact events plus a stepwise scoring method to measure reasoning quality.

Why it matters: Faster, transparent diagnostics can speed up science, support forecasters, and share expertise with regions most vulnerable to heatwaves, floods, and storms.
