Weather forecasts would get more accurate with new AI tools from NOAA.
This bill would help the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) use artificial intelligence to make weather, water, and wildfire forecasts more accurate and timely. It would create new AI models and ensure NOAA continues to support traditional forecasting methods, which could lead to better warnings for communities and emergency responders. This aims to improve how people prepare for and respond to extreme weather.
Today, weather forecasting relies on a mix of traditional methods and numerical models. If this bill becomes law, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) would significantly increase its use of artificial intelligence to create more accurate and timely forecasts for weather, water, and wildfires. This would also make many of NOAA's AI models and related data available to the public for the first time.
