New E3SM exascale modeling system for earth simulation released to scientific community

Green Car Congress

The high-resolution E3SM earth system model simulates the strongest storms with surface winds exceeding 150 mph—hurricanes that leave cold wakes that are 2 to 4 degrees Celsius cooler than their surroundings. The E3SM release will include model code and documentation, as well as output from an initial set of benchmark simulations.

Microsoft Predicts Weather for Individual Farms

Cars That Think

DeepMC uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to localize predications related to weather and climate. DeepMC works by training an AI to precisely find the error between the local weather forecast and the micro-climate weather conditions. Kumar says that DeepMC is more accurate than any other comparable model.
