Earth System Foundation Model integrates diverse data for climate forecasting

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed the Earth System Foundation Model (ESFM), an open-source framework designed to integrate and forecast using diverse Earth system data. ESFM builds upon the Aurora model's architecture and incorporates new methods to handle heterogeneous data, including missing values from satellite and station sources. The model utilizes axial attention to capture inter-variable dependencies and individual variable tokenization for easier adaptation to new tasks, demonstrating competitive or superior performance against existing benchmarks.
