NVIDIA has released StormCast, a generative AI model designed for high-fidelity atmospheric dynamics simulations, aiming to accurately predict mesoscale weather, which is crucial for disaster planning and mitigation. This model made its debut in papers co-authored with research institutions, providing groundbreaking predictive capabilities for frequently occurring extreme weather events, such as the over $150 billion annual losses in the U.S. StormCast is part of the NVIDIA Earth-2 digital twin cloud platform, integrating AI, physics simulations, and computer graphics.

NVIDIA's research team developed the "StormCast" AI model, which predicts thunderstorm weather with a precision of several kilometers, significantly enhancing meteorological forecasting accuracy and comprehensiveness. The model combines generative modeling and multi-layer atmospheric state technology, mimicking the HRRR model, and updates predictions hourly, accurately forecasting light, moderate, and heavy rainfall probabilities, with a focus on....
