How HiRO-ACEv2 works: ACE emulates at 100 km, HiROv2 downscales to 3 km

allen_ai · x · 2026-10-15

A thread post on Ai2's HiRO-ACEv2 explaining the two-stage architecture: ACE, an AI climate emulator, simulates climate at a coarser 100 km resolution; HiROv2, an AI downscaling model, sharpens outputs to 3 km. V2 adds near-surface wind and sea level pressure downscaling beyond v1's rainfall-only scope.
