Google DeepMind has publicly released SatWeave and PARDIG, the two foundational datasets behind its WeatherNext 3 weather model, both hosted on Google Cloud Storage under CC BY 4.0. PARDIG uses a spherical-grid Transformer with ~10 km spatial and 15-minute temporal resolution, outperforming NASA IMERG-Final by over 30% on hourly light-to-moderate precipitation detection and remaining reliable in regions lacking ground radar.

    • SatWeave merges five geostationary satellites (GOES-East/West, Meteosat 0, Meteosat IODC, Himawari), updating hourly with over a decade of archives
    • PARDIG trains directly on sparse spaceborne radar observations at 0.1° spatial and 15-minute temporal resolution with ~5-hour latency
    • Evaluation spans US, European and Japanese ground radar networks plus 36,000+ global weather stations, with notably strong extreme-precipitation capture
