G42, a leader in AI and cloud computing, today announced that it is partnering with NVIDIA to advance climate technology with a focus on developing AI solutions aimed at dramatically enhancing the accuracy of weather forecasting globally.
The collaboration builds on NVIDIA’s Earth-2, an open platform that accelerates climate and weather predictions with interactive, AI-augmented, high-resolution simulation.
G42 and NVIDIA will initially focus on a square-kilometre resolution weather forecasting model that improves the accuracy of meteorological predictions.
Key to this initiative is the establishment of a new operational base and Climate Tech Lab in Abu Dhabi. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a hub for research and development, driving forward both companies' commitment to environmental sustainability.
This facility will also mobilise the creation of tailored climate and weather solutions that leverage over 100 petabytes of geophysical data assets.
