GTC --
To accelerate efforts
to combat the $140 billion in economic losses due to extreme
weather brought on by climate change, NVIDIA today announced its
Earth-2 climate digital twin cloud platform for simulating and
visualizing weather and climate at unprecedented scale.
Part of the NVIDIA CUDA-X™ microservices, announced separately
today, Earth-2’s new cloud APIs on NVIDIA DGX Cloud™ allow
virtually any user to create AI-powered emulations to speed
delivery of interactive, high-resolution simulations ranging from
the global atmosphere and local cloud cover to typhoons and
turbulence.
When combined with proprietary data owned by companies in the
$20 billion climate tech industry, the Earth-2 application
programming interfaces help users deliver warnings and updated
forecasts in seconds compared to the minutes or hours in
traditional CPU-driven modeling.
“Climate disasters are now normal — historic droughts,
catastrophic hurricanes and generational floods appear in the news
with alarming frequency,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of
NVIDIA. “Earth-2 cloud APIs strive to help us better prepare for —
and inspire us to act to moderate — extreme weather.”
Groundbreaking Generative AI for Climate
TechEarth-2’s APIs offer AI models and employ a new NVIDIA
generative AI model called CorrDiff, using state-of-the-art
diffusion modeling, that generates 12.5x higher resolution images
than current numerical models 1,000x faster and 3,000x more energy
efficiently. It corrects inaccuracies of coarse-resolution
forecasts and synthesizes metrics critical to decision-making.
CorrDiff is a first-of-its-kind generative AI model to deliver
super-resolution, synthesize new metrics of interest to
stakeholders, and learn the physics of fine-scale local weather
from high-resolution datasets.
Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration plans to use these
diffusion models to forecast more precise locations of typhoon
landfall. When a typhoon warning is launched, the priority is to
minimize casualties by carrying out early evacuations based on
quality information generated by relevant agencies, including
Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Center for Disaster
Reduction (NCDR). In the last decade, the death toll due to
typhoons has fallen.
“Taiwan is a critical component of the global supply chain, and
flooding risk analysis and evacuation preparedness are core to our
mandate,” said Chia-Ping Cheng, administrator of CWA.
With more than 136 typhoons striking the island since 2000,
using Earth-2 to mitigate these impacts is key to improving the
quality and resolution of disaster informatics, NCDR said.
Another key component of Earth-2 cloud APIs is NVIDIA
Omniverse™, a computing platform that enables individuals and teams
to develop Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD)-based 3D workflows
and applications.
The Weather Company, a global leader in weather data forecasting
and insights, plans to integrate its meteorological data and
Weatherverse tools with Omniverse, enabling customers building
digital twins to better understand and visualize the impact of
actual weather conditions for the first time. The Weather Company
also plans to explore the use of NVIDIA score-based generative AI
for its Weatherverse services, Weather Engine solution for
enterprise-level weather intelligence and new high-resolution
weather modeling products.
“To help effectively address current and future weather- and
climate-related challenges, it’s critical now more than ever to
incorporate reliable, globally scaled real weather data and
insights into digital twin environments to better analyze, plan and
simulate the impacts of weather,” said Sheri Bachstein, CEO of The
Weather Company. “We’ve worked with NVIDIA for years on GPU
acceleration of GRAF, our proprietary weather modeling systems, and
we plan to adopt Earth-2 APIs to create higher resolution,
energy-efficient simulations at a lower cost.”
Other early adopters of Earth-2 APIs include weather analytics
platform companies like Spire and Meteomatics, which can build on
their proprietary data sources and data assimilation to produce
accurate forecasts, as well as startups Tomorrow.io, north.io and
ClimaSens, which are exploring new solutions for climate tech
applications.
NVIDIA DGX Cloud-Powered ComputeEarth-2 APIs
use DGX Cloud to provide full-stack acceleration for climate and
weather solutions. This includes optimal AI pipelines for models
such as FourCastNet, GraphCast and Deep Learning Weather
Prediction. It also includes GPU acceleration of numerical weather
prediction models like ICON on the latest NVIDIA Grace Hopper™
systems. Running on NVIDIA DGX GH200, HGX™ H100 and OVX™
supercomputers, Earth-2 may provide a path to simulate and
visualize the global climate simulations at unprecedented speed and
scale.
