Meet EWE: An AI Weather Expert for Extreme Events
Extreme weather is getting worse, but understanding the physical “why” behind each event still takes weeks of expert detective work. Forecasting AI has improved, yet diagnostic reasoning — explaining causes — has lagged.
Enter EWE (Extreme Weather Expert), a new AI agent that acts like a meteorologist-in-the-loop. EWE plans analyses, reasons in closed loops, and uses a domain-specific toolkit to turn raw atmospheric data into maps, plots, and plain-language explanations — automatically.
- Emulates expert workflows with knowledge-guided planning
- Generates and interprets multimodal visualizations
- Performs end-to-end diagnostic analyses from raw data
First benchmark: 103 high-impact events + a stepwise metric to test scientific reasoning.
Why it matters: faster, more consistent event diagnostics can accelerate discovery and help agencies — especially in developing nations — triage risks and resources when extreme weather strikes.
