Empowering weather and climate forecast
planet earth climate
MAELSTROM develops new machine learning applications in weather and climate science that can exploit exaflop performance.
MAELSTROM delivers benchmark datasets to allow for a quantitative intercomparison of machine learning tools — serving as blueprints for many machine learning applications in Earth system science.

HPC system
MAELSTROM develops compute system designs that are optimised for machine learning applications for weather and climate predictions at the node and system level.
MAELSTROM will transfer this knowledge to machine learning applications in other domains to optimise the use of future EuroHPC systems.

Introducing FZJ's AtmoRep

2023-08-29, Jan Mirus

This could become very influential:
Classical numerical models of the atmosphere exhibit biases due to incomplete process descriptions and they are computationally highly demanding. Recent AI-based weather forecasting models reduce the computational costs but lack the versatility of conventional models and do not provide probabilistic predictions.
The AtmoRep project asks if one can train one neural network that represents and describes all atmospheric dynamics. The FZJ team around Martin Schulz recently published a paper describing how this novel, task-independent stochastic computer model of atmospheric dynamics provides superior results for a wide range of applications: nowcasting, temporal interpolation, model correction, and counterfactuals.
Congrats to our MAELSTROM team members Bing Gong, Michael Langguth, Martin Schulz, and their FJZ colleagues!
