Today s
weather forecasts come from some of the most powerful computers on Earth. The
huge machines churn through millions of calculations to solve equations to
predict temperature, wind, rainfall and other weather events.
A forecast s
combined need for speed and accuracy taxes even the most modern computers.
The
future could take a radically different approach. A collaboration between the
University of Washington and Microsoft Research shows how artificial
intelligence can analyze past weather patterns to predict future events, much
more efficiently and potentially someday more accurately than today s
