A foundation model for the Earth system
Reliable forecasting of the Earth system is essential for mitigating natural disasters and supporting human progress. Traditional numerical models, although powerful, are extremely computationally expensive1. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have shown promise in improving both predictive performance and efficiency2,3, yet their potential remains underexplored in many Earth system domains. Here we introduce Aurora, a large-scale foundation model trained on more than one million hours of diverse ge…
Aurora foundation model outperforms operational forecasts for air quality, ocean waves, tropical cyclone tracks and high-resolution weather while running at orders of magnitude lower computational cost.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0528 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
