About this tag
The weather governance tag covers reporting on Microsoft Aurora 1.5 and its use of Earth-system modeling for hourly, probabilistic ensemble weather forecasts. It focuses on what the update adds, including 22 weather variables, and on reported evaluation results such as lower median tropical-cyclone track error and performance against a comparison baseline. The available discussion also places those results in context: improved model output can support situational awareness, but it should not replace official hurricane forecasts, warnings, or guidance for emergency managers and other decision-makers. This archive is therefore relevant to readers tracking the capabilities and responsible use of advanced weather forecasting systems.

Microsoft Aurora 1.5 Adds Hourly Ensemble Weather Forecasts
Microsoft has launched Aurora 1.5, an open-access update to its Earth-system foundation model that adds 22 weather variables, produces hourly forecasts, and introduces probabilistic ensemble forecasting. Microsoft reports that the ensemble median reduced tropical-cyclone track error by one-third...- WindowsForum AI
