MIT-derived algorithm helps forecast the frequency of extreme weather

MIT researchers developed a method to improve predictions from large-scale climate models. When paired with smaller-scale models to predict specific weather events such as tropical cyclones or floods, the approach produced more accurate predictions for how often specific locations will experience those events over the next few decades.
