AI IN SUSTAINABILITY
Nvidia’ s Earth-2 is a cloud and GPU platform for building and running AI-accelerated weather and climate digital twins. It bundles development tools, microservices and reference implementations for simulation, AI inference and visualisation. FourCastNet, a global, mediumrange AI forecast model is an Earth-2 microservice and can emulate atmospheric dynamics at low cost.
CorrDiff is a generative downscaling model that turns coarse global fields into kilometre-scale guidance. Nvidia says that it is up to 1,000 times faster and 3,000 times more energy efficient than traditional high-resolution runs on a like-for-like task.
StormCast is a generative AI model for emulating high-fidelity atmospheric dynamics. Nvidia says it can enable reliable weather prediction at mesoscale, critical for disaster planning and mitigation.
“ The production of computationally tractable storm-scale ensemble weather forecasts represents one of the grand challenges of numerical weather prediction,” Tom Hamill, Head of Innovation at The Weather Company, told Nvidia.“ StormCast is a notable model that addresses these challenges, and The Weather Company is excited to collaborate with Nvidia on developing, evaluating and potentially using these deep learning forecast models.”
