“A new, AI-based weather forecast model could significantly improve anticipating hazardous weather by zooming in from national to local levels, according to its creator Nvidia…

A study on the model, known as ‘NVIDIA CorrDiff,’ and its capabilities was published Monday in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.

The company says the model can capture extreme weather events, including ones that depart from historical records. This is important given climate change-related extreme weather trends.

Nvidia claims CorrDiff is 500 times faster and up to 10,000 times more energy-efficient than traditional high-resolution weather prediction models.

The big picture: The model is one in a series of AI forecasting advances during the past few years that are poised to remake how weather and climate hazards are predicted.”
