| contents | Accurate weather forecasting is essential for socioeconomic activities. While data-driven forecasting demonstrates superior predictive capabilities over traditional Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) with reduced computational demands, its deterministic nature and limited advantages over physics-based ensemble predictions restrict operational applications. We introduce the generative ensemble prediction system (GenEPS) framework to address these limitations by randomizing and mitigating both random errors and systematic biases. GenEPS provides a plug-and-play ensemble forecasting capability for deterministic models to eliminate random errors, while incorporating cross-model integration for cross-model ensembles to address systematic biases. The framework culminates in a super-ensemble approach utilizing all available data-driven models to further minimize systematic biases. GenEPS achieves an Anomaly Correlation Coefficient (ACC) of 0.679 for 500hPa geopotential (Z500), exceeding the ECMWF Ensemble Prediction System's (ENS) ACC of 0.646. Integration of the ECMWF ensemble mean further improves the ACC to 0.683. The framework also enhances extreme event representation and produces energy spectra more consistent with ERA5 reanalysis. GenEPS establishes a new paradigm in ensemble forecasting by enabling the integration of multiple data-driven models into a high-performing super-ensemble system. |
