Driving Accuracy in our Weather Forecasts with Technology

This session focuses on R&D innovations for weather forecasting; the data we use, algorithms we develop and workflow that is employed in our “Research to Operations” process. Comparisons between original data and value-added data resulting from the R&D process are shown and explained.

Who Should Attend

This seminar will be beneficial for those interested to learn about what goes into Weather forecast generation, as well as the computational processing that goes into extending the raw data into accurate forecasting.
