Prithvi WxC is a 2.3 billion parameter model trained on 160 different variables from MERRA-2 data. It has been pretrained on both forecasting and masked reconstruction objectives. I.e.~the model is capable of reconstructing atmospheric state from partial information as well as propagating state into the future. The model takes data from two timestamps as input and generates a single, possibly future, timestamp as output. Currently Prithvi WxC comes in two flavors:
- (This model)
prithvi.wxc.rollout.2300m.v1
has been through further training cycles to be optimzed for autoregressive rollout. Here, we restricted the input delta as well as the lead time to 6 hours. We recommend usingprithvi.wxc.rollout.2300m.v1
for forecasting applications.
