Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
The Microsoft Aurora Earth-system foundation model applies a single neural network, pretrained on a vast archive of geophysical data, to represent the interacting fluid dynamics of the atmosphere and oceans. Because it learns general physical relationships rather than one narrow task, the same underlying model can be specialized to forecast different Earth-system variables including wind, temperature, waves, and storm intensity.
