Moving forward, it’s critical to keep this data as clear as possible to keep people informed. Deeper understanding leads to better preparedness. As noted in the video above, big tech companies like Nvidia, Huawei And Google DeepMind who managed to predict the weather accurately.
Similarly, in 2023, Google Research partnered with American Airlines to use AI to develop contrail forecast maps to test whether pilots can avoid creating contrails and thus reduce their environmental impact.
Can climate change be fought with technology?
With their computer skills, technology companies could help national institutions accurately predict and anticipate natural disasters. In fact, these companies’ advances in edge computing can also help process the data generated by these technologies, allowing researchers and scientists to gain better insights from their analyses.
“AI weather allows us to achieve a new standard of accuracy, detail and performance,” said Alex Levy, co-founder and CEO of Atmo.
Digital transformation could continue in this sector. According to the IEEE, researchers are also studying whether digital twins This technology could be used for hurricane forecasting. It could be developed using a combination of data from ground sensors and aerial images, with digital models of geographic areas trained and updated in real time.
Technology of this level could not only help monitor current weather conditions, but also run simulations based on past storms to gather more information to use in future forecasts.
Strategies like this may become even more necessary as climate change continues to have greater impacts and weather becomes increasingly unstable. As storms rapidly evolve and become more abnormal, the conditions that previous forecast models were based on no longer apply. This makes forecasting more difficult, leading organizations to increase their efforts on data analysis in hopes of improving forecasts in the future.
As these fields are reshaped, it will be interesting to see what role technology will play.
