NOAA to enhance weather forecasting and research with artificial intelligence

NOAA's Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS) has signed an agreement with Google to explore the benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for enhancing NOAA's use of satellite and environmental data. Under this three-year Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement, NESDIS and Google will pilot specific AI- and ML-related projects to amplify NOAA's environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, climate research, and technical innovation.
