That’s why Microsoft remains deeply committed to it Auroraan AI model designed to help scientists understand Earth systems in new ways. It is based on vast amounts of data and is designed to model Earth’s systems. Aurora has already shown promise in several scenarios, including predicting weather, tracking hurricanes and air quality, and modeling ocean waves and energy flows.
Today we reaffirm our commitment: Keep Aurora open, collaborative and impactful so researchers can innovate faster and more efficiently.
