Boosting Weather Forecasts with AI and Supercomputing for Public Safety.
This law mandates government agencies (NOAA and DOE) to collaborate on using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced computing to significantly improve the accuracy and speed of weather predictions. For citizens, this means receiving more precise and timely warnings for hazardous events like hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes. These investments aim directly at enhancing public safety and protecting property through improved crisis management.
Key points
Mandates the use of AI and machine learning in weather forecasting systems to increase prediction accuracy and resolution.
Aims for better and faster warnings for hazardous weather events (storms, floods, extreme heat/cold) to protect life and property.
Establishes research centers to explore quantum computing and advanced data analysis for higher-resolution forecasts.
Requires a 10-year strategic plan for NOAA's computing resources, including oceanographic and fisheries forecasting needs.
