A stunning cinematic scene of the Google building, where one side is enveloped in heavy rain, while the other basks in the warm glow of the setting sun. The ground is covered in pristine snow, creating a striking contrast between the elements. The sky is a vivid blend of dark clouds and vibrant oranges and reds, with a feeling of dramatic tension in the air., cinematic.

Overview

  • NeuralGCM merges a differentiable solver for atmospheric dynamics with machine-learning components for physical processes.
  • The model achieves comparable accuracy to top conventional models for 1- to 15-day weather forecasts.
  • NeuralGCM excels in long-term climate simulations, accurately tracking trends and predicting phenomena like tropical cyclones.
  • The hybrid approach offers significant computational efficiency, reducing the need for supercomputers.
  • Future developments aim to integrate more Earth science components, enhancing prediction capabilities further.
