China Meteorological Administration puts Fengqing AI ensemble forecast system into operational use
Overview
The China Meteorological Administration has put its AI-based global ensemble forecast system, CMA-AIM-GFS-Fengqing-ENS-V1.0, into national operational use after an operational review at the National Meteorological Centre.
The system produces multiple forecast members to describe uncertainty. The CMA cites an effective 500 hPa ensemble-mean range of 11.0 days, based on verification from January 2025 to August 2026.
The CMA says the system will serve disaster prevention, transport, energy dispatch and ecological protection, and that the team will keep improving accuracy and lead time. The developers' comparisons with ECMWF's numerical and AIFS-CRPS ensembles are their own, and detailed scores have not been published.
