Model
This deep learning model, based on the Adaptive Fourier Neural Operator framework (AFNO), interpolates a prognostic forecast model to a shorter time-step size (by default from 6 h to 1 h).

| Field | Response |
|---|---|
| Intended Application & Domain: | Weather, Energy Forecasting |
| Model Type: | Adaptive Fourier Neural Operator (AFNO) |
| Intended User: | Weather and energy scientists or practitioners accelerating predictions using AI. |
| Output: | Tensor (1-hourly interpolated forecasts of a 73-channel 6-hour forecast). |
| Describe how the model works: | AFNO decodes input variables into a latent space and learns a interpolating function. |
| Name the adversely impacted groups this has been tested to deliver comparable outcomes regardless of: | N/A |
| Technical Limitations: | The model may perform poorly for systems that are not similar to those in the training data, namely for rare weather phenomena or weather behavior outside of the 1980-2016 training dataset. There is no mechanism to enforce physical consistency for predictions. |
| Verified to have met prescribed NVIDIA quality standards: | Yes |
| Performance Metrics: | Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Accuracy (ACC), and Bias (mean error). |
| Potential Known Risks: | This model may inaccurately predict interpolations given technical limitations noted above. |
