Building these advanced models will require exploitation of the ensemble of modeling more fully to produce quantitative probabilistic forecasts of atmospheric quantities with estimates of uncertainty to generate probabilistic forecasts of the impacts and risks of weather disasters.

FORBES: Global Warming's Other Big Business Opportunity

To develop these algorithms the 60 researchers involved used techniques that include game theory (in which agents have to overcome barriers to collaboration in order to get the best outcome), probabilistic modelling (which is employed to predict missing data and reduce uncertainty) and optimisation techniques (which can provide means of making decisions when communications between agents are limited).
