Durran group was featured in the recent EOS Research Spotlight, showcasing their creation of DLESyM (Deep Learning Earth System Model), an AI-powered climate model capable of generating a 1000-year climate simulation in just 12 hours on a single processor—far faster than traditional Earth-system models. In addition, DLESyM exceeds the performance of CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) models in reproducing key patterns and measures of variability in the current climate, including tropical cyclone generation and the Indian summer monsoons.
