The German Weather Service (DWD) has opened its new AI centre in Offenbach to make targeted use of artificial intelligence for weather and climate applications. The centre combines internal and external expertise and is developing, among other things, a modular AI structure supported by the FRAIM (Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Meteorology) methodology toolkit. Other areas of focus are the language-based DAWID system, data-driven weather models such as AICON, and AI-supported data assimilation (AI-VAR). In addition to developing new applications, the DWD focuses on training its employees and international exchange.
