NASA and IBM have teamed up to develop Prithvi WxC, an innovative AI foundation model aimed at weather and climate applications, targeting various environmental challenges.
Key details:
- Prithvi WxC is a large-scale AI model with 2.3 billion parameters, trained on 160 atmospheric variables from NASA's MERRA-2 dataset, covering global atmospheric data from 1980 to the present.
- Unlike specialized AI models, Prithvi WxC is a versatile foundation model that can be tailored for different weather and climate applications.
- The model employs advanced AI techniques to analyze both regional and global weather patterns, potentially enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of weather forecasts.
- NASA and IBM are promoting open science by making Prithvi WxC and its training workflows accessible to the public through Hugging Face.
Significance: This collaboration addresses one of humanity’s ongoing challenges: accurate weather forecasting. Prithvi WxC has the potential to improve weather predictions, enhance disaster preparedness, and optimize agricultural planning, which could save lives and reduce food costs for millions.
