AI tool predicts extreme weather correctly from cloud patterns 99 percent of the time
FirstpostResearchers have developed an artificial intelligence system that can recognize clouds that have the potential to turn into severe storms. The researchers worked with meteorologists from Wistar Institute, a non-profit research institution in science and AccuWeather, a media company that provides weather forecasting services. Looking for ‘comma-shaped’ clouds that are thought to lead to cyclones and lead to high winds, blizzards, etc, the researchers taught the AI tool signatures to recognize the same. It is also able to outperform other weather detecting methods by accurately predicting 64 percent of severe weather events. Rachel Zheng, a doctoral student in the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State and the main researcher on the project said, “Because the comma-shaped cloud is a visual indicator of severe weather events, our scheme can help meteorologists forecast such events.” The findings of this study have been published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing
