Physics meets AI - two complementary systems, one unified forecasting platform.
WRF‑SFIRE
A physics-based coupled model simulating the two-way interaction between wildfires and the atmosphere. Captures fire behavior driven by terrain, fuel, and live wind dynamics in real time.
Learn how it works →NVIDIA FourCastNet
State-of-the-art deep learning for fast, accurate atmospheric forecasting. We fine-tune FourCastNet on WRF‑SFIRE outputs to accelerate wildfire spread prediction at scale.
