Ai2 and Google collaborate on NeuralGCM+ climate models

Ai2 has launched a climate modeling initiative backed by three-year funding from Google.org and technical support from Google Research to develop NeuralGCM+, an open-source model for faster, more reliable climate projections. The project extends Google Research's NeuralGCM, which combines physical equations for large-scale dynamics with AI for smaller-scale processes like cloud formation and rainfall, to simulate atmosphere and ocean together. Ai2 aims to cut regional temperature and rainfall errors over the past 50 years and release models and frameworks with documented workflows for outside researchers.
