NASA and IBM unveil weather and climate foundation model

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

NASA and IBM have collaborated to develop a new foundation model specifically for weather and climate prediction. This model represents a significant advancement, as it is the first time a learned model has demonstrated capabilities comparable to traditional simulation methods in this scientific domain. The model leverages the daily availability of atmospheric data for training. AI

IMPACT This model could accelerate climate research and improve weather forecasting accuracy by leveraging AI capabilities.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes the development of a specialized foundation model for a scientific domain, which falls under research. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]
