Together with podcast host Timm Kruse, they discuss the possibilities of artificial intelligence in meteorology and how modern programmes such as "Windy" optimise route planning. Sebastian Wache shares exciting insights into the use of highly professional routing tools such as "Expedition" and "Adrena", as well as tactical decisions from sailing pro Boris Herrmann.
The episode also sheds light on the challenges of incomplete weather models, the importance of human expertise and the future of weather apps. The meteorologist explains why it is important to analyse and compare weather maps over ten days. The importance of precise model resolutions for accurate weather forecasts is also discussed.
The uncertainties in the weather forecast, particularly in the case of squalls and shower cells, as well as small changes such as clouds in front of the sun, which can destabilise the fragile system of sea winds, are also discussed. The weather expert expresses scepticism about total dependence on AI, but emphasises the positive developments in the technology. You can find out how he justifies this first-hand in our latest podcast episode "AI and weather forecasts for sailors - with Sebastian Wache".
