NVIDIA AI Weather System Predicts Extreme Weather in Minutes, Catches 96% of Events Other Models Miss

NVIDIA's revolutionary AI weather system HENS predicts extreme weather events in minutes with 96% accuracy for rare storms that traditional supercomputer models miss, using 7,424 ensemble members to deliver forecasts up to 14 days ahead while consuming dramatically less energy than current methods.

• NVIDIA and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory release HENS, an AI-powered weather forecasting tool that predicts extreme weather events in minutes using significantly less computational power than traditional supercomputer models
• HENS generates weather forecasts from 6 hours to 14 days ahead at 15-mile resolution and creates 27,000 years worth of climate simulation data, catching 96% of rare severe weather events that other models typically miss
• The system uses 7,424 ensemble members compared to traditional models' 50 members, providing predictions with uncertainties 10 times smaller while requiring far less energy and computing resources
