NVIDIA Uses AI to Forecast Extreme Weather, Empower Startups
-
NVIDIA has developed Earth-2, an AI-powered weather forecasting platform, to predict extreme weather at high resolution to protect people.
-
Key components include generative AI models like CorrDiff to forecast weather at 2km resolution, and FourCastNet to predict extreme weather risk 3 weeks out.
-
Earth-2 APIs allow startups like Tomorrow.io, ClimaSens, and North.io to develop customized climate insights and weather models.
-
ClimaSens uses FourCastNet to assess low-probability, high-impact flooding. North.io develops marine weather forecasts.
