"Following a successful prototype, Microsoft will be delivering a new artificial intelligence tool to the U.S. government that uses historic hydrology data to help a diverse set of users understand and predict trends in Earth's waters. The final version of Microsoft and NASA's Earth Copilot is set to be deployed as a multi-AI agent software that can distill complex data on the planet's water patterns to observe current and future changes."
"One of Earth Copilot's most critical functions is its user-friendly interface to help those without a strictly technical background access and understand hydraulic data with plain-language queries. "The copilot interprets the question, identifies the relevant hydrologic variables, retrieves authoritative explanations, runs the necessary geospatial queries, and presents results as maps, charts, and clear narrative descriptions," Microsoft's announcement reads. Earth Copilot uses the North American Land Data Assimilation System Version 3, or NLDAS-3, as its core data."
Microsoft and NASA will deploy Earth Copilot to the U.S. government as a multi-AI agent that interprets historic hydrology datasets to reveal current and projected water trends. The tool accepts plain-language queries and translates user intent into hydrologic variable selection, geospatial queries, and authoritative explanations. Outputs include maps, charts, and clear narrative descriptions suitable for nontechnical users. Earth Copilot's core dataset is the North American Land Data Assimilation System Version 3 (NLDAS-3). The AI agents operate within Microsoft's Azure OpenAI partnership and the Microsoft Foundry platform hosting customizable large language models. The partnership aims to democratize Earth science insights and enable data-driven community preparedness and action.
