Can AI help weather forecasting save lives?

Weather forecasting is, terribly interesting. The problem with numerical methods is that weather is inherently an unstable equilibrium. It’s like simulating turbulence. Nevertheless, we can predict the most likely scenarios. Data analysis (aka AI), although oblivious to the physics of the matter, can, potentially, be very helpful, given enough meaningful data. (although imho should be considered more of a side dish) Most importantly, the judge of weather forecasting, is the actual weather, no bias whatsoever. And that is glorious. I’m not sure but I think and hope that all raw data regarding weather is freely available, ground stations, satellites, etc.

I wouldn't say we need to improve weather forecasting. It's more that we have to re-write the algorithms completely. The forecasting formulas used in the past and up until now are completely useless with the new weather configurations that we are having. Talking from northern Italy. The forecasting needs to keep pace with the change in climate. Complicated to say the least.

We need more mature and precise models to predict the weather to prevent more tolls in poor areas and regions where smartphones or auto devices are not widely equipped. Humans must take action more quickly to adjust the speed of severe climate change. Remember every milestone we make can be applied to ourselves and definitely save lives.

The critical issue seems to be ground station coverage.

The Economist: The race to improve weather forecasting! First World Countries: We race to disrupt the weather!

The trend of death as it relates to storms is moving downwards. Fewer people die today from extreme weather than at any time in history.

In poor countries it's not so much that they can't get accurate weather forecast, but more so, they can't get the information out to the population

Really wish the U.S. Government funded agencies like NOAA the same way they do the military

Very educative!

Divorcing the model from the underlying physics seems unintuitive to me.

The video, in the end, is about the climate crisis and what's interesting is that it is taken as a given. Even the solution for better weather forecasting — which is getting difficult to do because of the climate crisis — follows the same logic that putted us here in the first place. It's about AI and more satellites, which, of course, can help, but it is still causes more pollution. The cycle that putted us here just never ends because we take the system as a given and not something that we built ourselves.

the economist always represent their hostages to talk news

The Anchor should speak slowly. I don't know why she is in a hurry. In her job it is important that everyone is able to hear & understand every word she says. I am referring to climate correspondent Rachel Dobbs

ok human lives, but what about the other life forms that also die due to climate change?

Put AI to work.

😮

thank you fo diz, the economist. 💎😘🤩 well, justin is obsessed with ai so he will gladly volunteer to become some sort of a hybrid human/weather forecastin' machine. bonus: he'll do it from space. ❣️😂🤭🌼🌟⚡💖

Be difficult to do any worse
