Read how work by @UChicago, building on the AI-based NeuralGcM weather model developed & open-sourced by @GoogleResearch, is being used to more accurately predict the monsoon season in India and support farmer decision-making for 38M farmers in India. 🌱 blog.google/technology/resea…

Our work on AI to improve cyclone prediction is likely to be quite impactful & save lives. We've been partnering w/ @NWSNHC, @metoffice & others for testing. This builds on years of work on improving general weather prediction using AI from @GoogleDeepMind & @GoogleResearch.

Great to see AI-based weather prediction being rolled out across Africa. This is important because traditional weather forecasts rely much more on ground-based radar, and in Africa, there simply aren't enough to give high quality traditional forecasts. blog.google/intl/en-africa/p…

I'm really excited about this work. As the earth warms, wildfires are becoming more common in many places on earth. Early detection, before they burn out of control, is key to dramatically reducing their impact. Current early detection satellites are only able to detect fires that are 2-3 acres in size. With the FireSat constellation of 50 micro satellites for frequent coverage of every spot on Earth, and AI models trained on the sensor data, we'll be able to detect fires 1/400th that size (roughly 5x5 meters), enabling first responders to put out fires quickly. The first satellite will launch next year, and the whole constellation (critical for detecting fires quickly) will be operational in the following few years. Kudos to the whole team working on this at @GoogleResearch and to partners at @EarthFireAll, @MuonSpace and @MooreFound, and especially to my Google colleague Chris Van Arsdale, who has been working on this project for many years.

Really nice joint work from @GoogleResearch and @GoogleDeepMind on using deep-learning for weather forecasting. This approach produces much higher spatial+temporal resolution forecasts than traditional numerical approaches (see gif below), giving our users much more precise info!

We (@Google) are thrilled to be collaborators with @UofOklahoma and many other institutions (see blog post) on this new @NSF Institute to conduct research on using AI in weather, climate, and coastal oceanography. Now we're cookin'!
