Nvidia Releases AI Models to Expedite Weather Forecasting
Nvidia recently unveiled a trio of open-source AI models designed to speed up and improve the accuracy of weather prediction. The announcement came during the American Meteorological Society’s annual conference held in Houston. The new releases are part of Nvidia’s larger effort to build open software platforms that run on its computing hardware. The company has been promoting similar approaches in fields such as conversational AI and autonomous driving. With weather prediction, Nvidia is targeting a field that relies heavily on complex calculations and high-performance computing. Traditional forecasting depends on physics-based simulations that attempt to model the atmosphere in fine detail. While effective, those simulations…
