We've created a method to transform low-res geophysical fluid simulations into high-res fields using diffusion models. In principle, the same generative model can be used to downscale different coarse resolution data, with no extra training needed! Perfect for downscaling climate simulations, enhancing resolution, and cutting computational costs.

NASA recently published a model based on high-res data points, tracking CO2 movement through the atmosphere from emission to interaction with weather patterns. Timeline: Jan to March 2020 ...and yes, that's precisely just about before the big Covid wave hit. The video is mesmerizing. And ... the model is so high res, that it is actually possible to dig down to individual power plants, as well as larger scale factories. High noon and time to get your supplier address book out and compare it with the locations of this model!

In November 2023, the NSF NCAR - The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, hosted 15 experts in person and 36 virtually to evaluate the Large-Eddy Simulation ARM Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (#ARMLASSO) activity. The workshop put a spotlight on the current state of LASSO, user engagement and the value gained through the LASSO products, and future priorities. Highlighted discussions ranged from simulation representativeness and selection bias to LASSO’s integration into large-scale models like U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). Learn more about the workshop in a blog post from LASSO principal investigator William Gustafson, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and dive into the full workshop report for more LASSO insights at https://bit.ly/3WrHfaT 📷 The LASSO library of simulations provides a range of information for use across the full range of model complexity from single-column models (SCM) to large-eddy simulation/cloud-resolving models (LES/CRM) to global climate models/regionally refined models (GCM/RRM). Figure was created by Gustafson with support from artificial intelligence. #DOEClimateScience #ClimateScience

NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio has released an insightful video showing how wind and air currents pushed CO2 emissions around Earth's atmosphere from January to March of 2020. The video's high-resolution zooms in and sees individual sources of CO2, including power plants and forest fires. The video starkly shows that it doesn't matter where CO2 emissions come from; we all deal with the outcomes. #climatechange #GHGemissions #Emissionsmodelling

NASA`s eye-opening video visualizes the sources and pathways of CO2 emissions entering our atmosphere. It underscores the urgent necessity to accelerate efforts in curbing CO2 emissions through impactful actions and solutions. We must continue driving initiatives that substantially reduce our carbon footprint to create a more sustainable future for all. At #Clariant, we offer a wide range of products that support #CO2 reduction as well for your products, across various use cases. Therefore, we follow an ambitious target to reduce our CO2 footprint, where we contribute as #Procurement through our initiatives with our supply base. By #collaborating with our #suppliers and implementing #sustainable practices, we strive to minimize our #environmental impact and pave the way for a greener tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/es-R3QQv

NASA high resolution animation of global CO2 emission and mixing. Watch carbon dioxide move through Earth’s atmosphere. With this high resolution model, scientists can see CO₂ rising from sources like power plants, fires, and cities and watch how that carbon dioxide spreads via wind patterns and atmospheric circulation.

"This NASA visualization shows how #CO2 swirls through the atmosphere, revealing patterns previously invisible to scientists. The video, based on the #GEOS (Goddard Earth Observing System) model, allows you to zoom in on individual sources of CO2 with a resolution more than 100 times higher than typical weather models. "As policymakers and scientists, we're trying to understand where carbon comes from and how it affects the planet," explains Lesley Ott, a climatologist at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Space Flight Center. The visualization reveals that in the United States, South Asia, and China, most emissions come from #industry, #power plants, and #transportation. In contrast, in Africa and South America, the main sources are agricultural burning and forest fires. The data show a "pulsing" pattern because fires tend to flare up during the day and fade at night, and also because of plant photosynthesis, which absorbs CO2 during the day and releases it at night. The visualization comes at a critical time. 2023 was the hottest year on record, and the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from 278 parts per million in 1750 to 427 in May 2024."

𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐎2, This global map of CO2 was created by NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio using a model called GEOS (Goddard Earth Observing System). GEOS is a high-resolution weather reanalysis model, powered by supercomputers, that is used to represent what was happening in the atmosphere — including storm systems, cloud formations, and other natural events. GEOS pulls in billions of data points from ground observations and satellite instruments https://lnkd.in/g8EbKWKC
