A step toward AI modeling of the whole Earth system
New research examines how AI models could emulate the response of climate to anthropogenic forcings. For example, increased precipitation associated with atmospheric rivers, like the one pictured above off the western U.S. coast, can occur in response to an increase in carbon dioxide.
