Nvidia's AI Revolutionizes Weather Forecasting
31 Jan
Summary
- Nvidia launched Earth-2 AI models for weather and climate prediction.
- AI models offer forecasts up to 500x faster than traditional methods.
- These tools reduce computational demand by up to 90%.
Nvidia's new Earth-2 family of open AI models promises to revolutionize weather forecasting and climate prediction. These models integrate high-resolution data from satellites, radar, and weather stations to create continuous atmospheric condition estimates.
The Earth-2 system employs generative AI across all forecasting stages, from data processing to generating storm predictions. Models like CorrDiff can produce regional forecasts up to 500 times faster than traditional methods by downscaling continental predictions.
FourCastNet3 offers accurate wind, temperature, and humidity forecasts significantly faster than conventional models. The framework also integrates global models from entities like the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Microsoft, and Google.
