HaiRuo foundation model forecasts ocean eddies with improved accuracy

Researchers have developed HaiRuo, a novel foundation model for forecasting ocean eddies. This model, comprising HaiRuo-1B and a XuanJi decoder, simultaneously predicts eddies as both fields and objects, improving accuracy and reducing error compared to existing methods. HaiRuo-1B, an open-weight model trained on satellite altimetry data, provides initial forecasts, while XuanJi refines eddy trajectories. The system demonstrates superior performance across various oceanographic conditions, including during El Niño-Southern Oscillation events. AI

IMPACT This model advances the application of foundation models in complex scientific domains, potentially improving climate and oceanographic research.
