Artificial Intelligence (AI)

On This Page:

Welcome

The Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) and the NOAA Artificial Intelligence for the Numerical Weather Prediction Applications (AI4NWP) Working Group support a community-based, comprehensive Earth modeling system that includes artificial intelligence-based models. The community enables research, development, and contribution opportunities within the broader Weather Enterprise (including government, industry, and academia).

To effectively communicate various AI4NWP activities currently underway across NOAA, we are establishing the NOAA AI-UFS blog. In the NOAA AI-UFS blog posts, we will highlight important developments related to releases of the NOAA training data for AI models, progress on the development of the NOAA-native models, and the NOAA-focused evaluation of the AI4NWP models.

Getting Started

To get started with AI modeling that relies on NOAA initial conditions and datasets, NOAA and CIRA scientists developed this notebook that showcases how to use GraphCast, FourCastNet V2, and PanguWeather with NOAA GFS and GDAS initial conditions https://github.com/NOAA-GSL/ai-notebooks/. This will provide a quick start on understanding how to install, initialize, load data, and run the model.
