NASA and IBM have teamed up to create an AI Foundation Model for Weather and Climate, using [MERRA 2](https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/reanalysis/MERRA-2/) data. 
By embracing the principles of open AI and open science, both organizations are actively contributing to the 
global mission of promoting knowledge sharing and accelerating innovations in addressing critical environmental challenges. 
With Hugging Face's platform, they simplify model training and deployment, making it accessible for open science users, startups,
and enterprises on multi-cloud AI platforms like [watsonx](https://www.ibm.com/watsonx). Additionally, Hugging Face enables easy sharing of the pipelines of the model 
family, which our team calls Prithvi WxC, within the community, fostering global collaboration and engagement. More details on Prithvi can be 
found in the joint IBM NASA technical paper.

prithvi.wxc.2300m.v1 is the first Weather and Climate Foundation Model. A list of successful downstream applications will be provided soon. Please feel free to use this model
and submit a PR to link to your downstream application.
