AI framework STORM enhances Earth system prediction with linear complexity

Researchers have developed STORM, a novel generative AI framework that significantly enhances Earth system prediction by reformulating data assimilation as diffusion-based Bayesian posterior sampling. This approach replaces computationally intensive PDE-based ensemble forecasts with scalable AI inference, reducing complexity from quadratic to linear through a spatiotemporal transformer and global-attention algorithm. STORM demonstrates remarkable scalability, achieving high strong-scaling efficiency on the Frontier supercomputer and enabling large-member ensembles for uncertainty quantification, ultimately improving accuracy in hurricane tracking and climate reanalysis. AI

IMPACT This framework could significantly advance climate modeling and weather forecasting by enabling more accurate and efficient data assimilation.

    Global Attention with Linear Complexity for Exascale Generative Data Assimilation in Earth System Prediction

    arXiv:2604.16590v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate Earth system prediction requires state inference from incomplete observations, but conventional two-stage data assimilation (DA) is computationally prohibitive because repeated PDE-based ensemble forecasts, observ…
