New weather model from NOAA now available in Expedition

The AIGFS is NOAA's AI-based emulator of the Global Forecast System (GFS).
It was created by fine-tuning Google DeepMind’s GraphCast model with a combination of NOAA’s GFS analyses and ERA5 and HRES from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The development involved creating novel training infrastructure, utilizing cloud computing, and employing various training configurations with NOAA’s datasets.

The AIGFS runs four times a day, producing 6-hourly forecasts for up to 16 days. It provides primary atmospheric and surface fields like temperature, wind, humidity, and precipitation in GRIB2 format.
