The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Microsoft are teaming up to advance the agency’s weather goals under a new cooperative survey and progression agreement.
According to Wednesday’s announcement, the deal will be the agency’s blueprint to “create a climate-ready nation” by allowing NOAA scientists and engineers to work with Microsoft through studies and progress projects to achieve five of NOAA’s goals over the next year.
“We are excited about the partnership between NOAA’s ambient intelligence and
Microsoft’s cloud computing in hopes of amplifying NOAA’s ability to anticipate weather, weather,
and ocean change,” NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad.
Specifically, NOAA and Microsoft hope this will help the agency’s Earth Prediction Innovation Center on full pilot projects of Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform to facilitate modeling and research of Earth formulas, with projects in government, academia and the personal sector.
They will also leverage the agency’s climate device learning and forecasting models for air quality, wildfire smoke and particulate pollution. the computational accuracy and power of NOAA’s atmospheric composition models.
NOAA uses atmospheric composition modeling for its air quality predictions, modeling and prediction of wildfire smoke plumes, and global aerosol and climate modeling. the resources of high-performance computing systems and operational prediction centers,” so NOAA will reduce this technical burden through device learning.
The NOAA spokesperson noted that uses of this generation may include: “air quality prediction sets, surface concentrations of atmospheric composition reduced to high-resolution mesh products, deterministic aerosol distribution predictions in regional and global climate prediction models, and innovations in computational velocity. “for all aerosol chemistry and weather. “Models. “
Regarding the NOAA Fisheries survey, the agreement will allow Microsoft to integrate its IT team to advance the collection, processing, storage and dissemination of survey data as well as data to further aid sustainable fisheries.
Microsoft and NOAA will expand a new searchable catalog of ocean observations that will include case studies and how they can be used to strengthen public policy, security, economic growth, environmental protection, and climate resilience. and weather forecasting and modeling formula available to enable the collection, access and processing of NOAA knowledge and enable the use of external knowledge.
“We are revered for partnering with NOAA to bring the strength of cloud computing to our
the nation’s most sensible scientists are solving some of the most demanding situations facing the world,” said Rick Wagner, president of Microsoft Federal. Microsoft Azure synthetic intelligence and high
Performance computing functions can drive critical studies and foster cutting-edge approaches to mitigate the risk of climate replacement.
NOAA funds its partnership with Microsoft because CRADA’s authority allows the government to fund a deal. A NOAA spokesperson said that “instead, CRADA allows NOAA to share ideas, technical expertise, services, and/or other study materials and intellectual property. “
In the past, the company worked with Microsoft on another CRADA to explore how Microsoft’s Azure could help NOAA’s satellites by using cloud advertising operations on satellites and downloading data in a cyber-secure environment, particularly by offering project control from satellites to legacy satellites.
