Accelerated, AI-augmented, high-resolution climate and weather simulations with interactive visualization.

Earth-2 Data: DKRZ/MPI-M, ICON Model

Accelerating Climate Change Predictions

NVIDIA Earth-2 is a full-stack, open platform that accelerates climate and weather predictions with interactive, AI-augmented, high-resolution simulation. It includes physical simulation of numerical models like ICON; machine learning models such as FourCastNet, GraphCast, and Deep Learning Weather Prediction (DLWP) through NVIDIA Modulus; and data federation and visualization with NVIDIA Omniverse™. Running on NVIDIA DGX™ GH200, HGX™ H100, and OVX™ supercomputers, Earth-2 will provide a path to simulate and visualize the global atmosphere at unprecedented speed and scale.

The Development Platform for Climate Science

Higher Resolution and Large-Scale AI Training

The Earth-2 accelerated systems will let climate scientists produce kilometer (km)-scale climate simulations, conduct large-scale AI training and inference, and achieve low-latency interactivity. NVIDIA Modulus integrates support for numerous neural network models for climate and weather simulation.

GPU-Optimized and Accelerated Climate Simulation

The Earth-2 development platform is optimized for GPU-accelerated numerical climate simulations at km-scale to maximize simulated days per day (SDPD).

Data Federation and Interactive Weather Visualization

NVIDIA Omniverse enables ultra-large-scale, high-fidelity, interactive visualizations that depict weather conditions across the globe. Omniverse Nucleus includes a data federation engine that offers transparent data access across external databases and live feeds.

Earth-2 Cloud Services

AI Services

With Earth-2’s AI services, climate scientists can access generative AI-based models, such as CorrDiff diffusion models. These models are transformational in their ability to efficiently generate large ensembles of useful high-resolution predictions by sampling from a distribution many thousands of times.

AI services are available in early access for climate tech partners to integrate into their solutions.

Visualization Services

Interactive visualization services will enable large-scale weather and climate data to be visualized and analyzed.

Visualization services will be coming soon—please reach out to the Earth-2 team to be part of the development process.

Simulation Services

Simulation services will make it possible to gather insights from weather and climate simulations to plan for extreme weather scenarios.
