A new forecasting system developed in collaboration between the University of Helsinki and CMCC delivers detailed 15-day Mediterranean Sea predictions in just 20 seconds. By combining machine learning, ocean physics, and atmospheric data, SeaCast is faster than traditional numerical forecasts and more accurate than traditional physical models, achieving high-resolution predictions that represent a big advancement in marine forecasting. Published in Nature – Scientific Reports, this research opens new horizons for understanding, preparing for, and responding to the challenges and opportunities of the Mediterranean region.
