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…

Addition combines quantities; subtraction measures the signed difference between them. Parentheses show what is combined before the rest of the expression is evaluated.
