NASA and IBM Research have developed a new artificial intelligence model to support a variety of weather and climate applications. The new model, known as the Prithvi-weather-climate foundational model, is expected to vastly improve the resolution of images, opening the door to better regional and local weather and climate models, according to NASA.
"The NASA foundation model will help us produce a tool that people can use: weather, seasonal and climate projections to help inform decisions on how to prepare, respond and mitigate," said Karen St. Germain, director of the Earth Science Division of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
