Supercomputers & Advanced WX Forecasting
Hewlett Packard & Oak Ridge National Lab Source: NASA One of the World's Most Advanced Weather Forecasting Systems With the back to back, forecast-defying storms we've been getting in North America and elsewhere in the world, the prospect of much more precise weather forecasting is of great appeal. Hewlett Packard Enterprises just announced that it is helping the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Lab build and utilize a pair of extremely high performance supercomputers to model and forecast the weather with much greater precision. The system is primarily for the US Air Force's Weather Service for global military operations.
