00:00One of America's most powerful supercomputers could help shape the future of weather forecasting.
00:05The National Weather Service has joined forces with Argonne National Laboratory
00:09to explore how artificial intelligence could improve weather prediction.
00:13The partnership was formally signed on September 23, 2026.
00:18At its center is Aurora, an advanced supercomputer capable of performing enormous scientific calculations.
00:25Researchers plan to explore AI-powered atmospheric models.
00:28Machine learning systems and ways to process massive amounts of weather data.
00:33The goal is to improve how scientists simulate the atmosphere
00:36and develop forecasting tools across different timescales
00:40that could eventually help provide better information
00:43for decisions involving severe weather, rainfall, and changing atmospheric conditions.
00:48But there is an important distinction.
00:51This partnership is a research framework, not an announcement of immediately improved forecasts.
00:56The real test will be how these technologies perform as the research moves forward.
