Environment and Climate Change Canada is exploring AI-powered climate emulators to expand the size of climate model ensembles, helping scientists better understand natural climate variability. The system uses a spherical Fourier neural operator (SFNO) architecture currently in deterministic form, with plans to evolve toward probabilistic outputs. It is currently in development and is used exclusively by Government of Canada employees; it does not involve any personal information.
