What this part means

The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.

Its job in the formula

The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula

GraphCast , described by Remi Lam and colleagues at Google DeepMind in a 2023 paper published in Science, replaces the equation-integration step with a trained graph neural network operating on an encoder–processor–decoder structure. Weather variables at roughly one million points on a 0.25-degree global grid are first encoded onto a spherical mesh; a processor network then updates each mesh node’s representation by passing messages between it and its neighbours, repeated across the mesh’s structure so that information can propagate across the globe within a single forward pass; a decoder then reads the updated mesh back out to the original grid to produce the forecast. In general form, a…
