Google partners with NOAA on AI weather predictions - 9to5Google

One area artificial intelligence can have a deep impact on is climate predictions. Google already has a number of weather efforts, and this month launched an AI partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS) to enhance analysis of the US agency's satellite and environmental data. Together, NESDIS and Google will use AI and ML to amplify NOAA's environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, and climate research using Google Cloud infrastructure. Both organizations will initially research small-scale AI/ML systems, before "executing full-scale prototypes that NOAA could ultimately operationalize across its organization." NOAA says this has the "potential to be a significant leap" in its ability to analyze an "enormous volume and diversity of environmental data" to ultimately "enhance prediction for extreme weather events," with hurricanes and tornadoes cited.
