Beyond perception, reasoning is essential in remote sensing for advanced interpretation, inference, and decision-making. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled tool-augmented agents that leverage external tools to perform complex analytical tasks.
arXiv:2606. 13148v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Climate and environmental decision-making increasingly requires reasoning across heterogeneous inputs, including gridded physical data, satellite imagery, geospatial context, and simulator outputs.

AFDBench is a new benchmark that evaluates how well large language models can generate professional Area Forecast Discussions (AFDs) for the National Weather Service by reasoning through structured AI weather forecast data. It contains 7,732 expert-written discussions paired with real forecast inputs and introduces three metrics—Met-Align, Style-Align, and Input-Grounding—to assess numerical accuracy, professional dialect adherence, and fidelity to source data. Zero-shot tests show open-source LLMs perform poorly on style and grounding, but reinforcement learning with Group Relative Policy Optimization nearly doubles style alignment and improves grounding, enabling a 7B-parameter model to write like a professional meteorologist.
