| Field | Response |
|---|---|
| Intended Task/Domain: | Weather Forecasting and Simulation |
| Model Type: | Spherical Neural Operator |
| Intended Users: | Weather Forecasters, Researchers, Related Industrial users. |
| Output: | Tensor representing 72 atmospheric variables |
| Describe how the model works: | Input variables are fed through a spherical convolutional architecture to produce the weather state in the next 6 hours. |
| Name the adversely impacted groups this has been tested to deliver comparable outcomes regardless of: | Not Applicable (N/A) |
| Technical Limitations & Mitigation: | 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: | Accuracy (ACC), Error (RMSE), and Probabilistic Calibration (CRPS) |
| Potential Known Risks: | This model may incorrectly predict future weather states and phenomenon |
