曼彻斯特大学用NVIDIA Earth-2预测全英空气污染
原标题：University of Manchester Uses NVIDIA Earth-2 to Forecast Air Pollution Across the UK
AI 摘要
曼彻斯特大学David Topping团队利用NVIDIA Earth-2系列开放AI模型（CorrDiff、StormCast）在英国国家AI超算Isambard-AI上训练出覆盖全英的空气质量预测模型，训练仅用两天，分辨率达2-3平方公里。该模型可预测未来污染情景，并能在DGX Spark桌面AI系统上运行推理和小规模训练，团队计划开源训练数据与工作流，供其他国家地区构建本地污染模型。

Air pollution is a serious public health risk, contributing to an estimated 30,000 deaths in the U.K. alone last year. Data-driven insights can help — but computing air quality with traditional chemistry-based models is expensive, which limits how detailed they can be and how regularly they can be run. David Topping, a professor in the University of Manchester’s department of Earth and environmental science, saw that the NVIDIA Earth-2 family of open AI models and tools had cracked a related pro
