NSF Awards $5M to AI-Powered Wildfire Management Tool
With another brutal wildfire season in the western U.S. beginning to wane in the face of rains and cooler temperatures, researchers are still racing to develop more effective means of wildfire mitigation for seasons to c Read more…
AI Enables Improved, Lightweight Hurricane Intensity Predictions
Hurricane prediction still poses challenges for researchers, who scramble to produce accurate predictions of the formation, track, and intensity of tropical cyclones in order to give residents in the storm’s path the i Read more…
DOE Announces ‘First Five Consortium’ to Fight Natural Disasters with AI
As wildland fires tear across California and hurricane season starts to warm up, natural disasters are top-of-mind for many Americans. Predicting and managing these disasters is an ongoing challenge, and researchers are Read more…
NOAA Awards Nearly $700,000 to Entrepreneurial Machine Learning Projects
In the computing sphere, the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) may be most well-known for its massive weather and climate models, which predominantly run on correspondingly massive s Read more…
NOAA Updates Its Massive Climate Dataset
As Australia burns, understanding and mitigating the climate crisis is more urgent than ever. Now, by leveraging the computing resources at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), the U.S. Natio Read more…
NOAA Announces New Data Collaborations with AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft
The United States’ National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA) possesses vast amounts of environmental data. Now, NOAA has announced a set of collaborations with major cloud providers, promising to “genera Read more…
Algorithms Aim to Unclog the Skies
Researchers are churning out new algorithms initially designed to improve situational awareness in the sky while also helping pilots avoid dangerous weather and costly flight delays. Knowing where you are on the cloud Read more…
Study Pours Cold Water on AI Driving Algorithms
A recent report emerging from the center of U.S. auto manufacturing rains on the AI parade with research results claiming autonomous vehicle algorithms fare poorly in bad weather. The study by researchers at Michigan Read more…
Weather Data Points to Massive ‘Bomb Cyclone’ Hitting Eastern U.S.
Hurricane hunter airplanes today are flying into a building winter storm along the Eastern seaboard that meteorologists have dubbed a "bomb cyclone" due to a forecast for rapidly dropping barometric pressure. National Read more…
Predicting Hurricane Damage with Machine Learning
Next week marks the start of a hurricane season that weather experts predict will generate an above-average number of tropical storms. While there's no stopping a hurricane, data scientists with The Weather Company hope Read more…
The Weather Company Absorbs ‘Deep Thunder’ to Bolster Modeling
IBM is combining two of its weather forecasting resources—including The Weather Company's regional and global models and local and hyperlocal forecasts from "Deep Thunder"—to create a single combined forecasting mode Read more…
NOAA Launches Big Data Project
A big data project launched by the U.S. Commerce Department brings together major cloud analytics vendors and the Open Cloud Consortium to develop infrastructure needed to access the more than 20 terabytes of satellite w Read more…
The Big Data Weather Watchers in the Sky
A Utah outfit called GeoMetWatch could help usher in an era of dramatically improved weather forecasts if it successfully gets a series of hyperspectral atomosphereic sounders into orbit. These big data collectors in the sky will provide a much more detailed view of the movement and composition of the atmosphere, and have the potential to save thousands of lives and billions of dollars in weather-related losses each year.
