NOAA Satellite and Information Service

💻 @NOAA is hosting their sixth annual AI workshop during September 16–20! This year our focus is on fostering collaborative development around the theme of heat resilience, defining "heat" broadly across various systems, and exploring its impacts on society and ecosystems. This workshop aims to gather community members to discuss and explore collaborations aligned with NOAA's strategic priorities. Interested in joining virtually?

Watch a recording from the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Industry Proving Grounds (IPG) initiative webinar spotlighting NOAA’s insights into hurricanes. The webinar offered industry professionals across the U.S. economy an in-depth look at critical hurricane predictions for 2024 and beyond. This webinar was an exciting opportunity for professionals to enhance their understanding and preparedness for hurricane impacts through NOAA’s expert knowledge and data resources. Experts from NOAA’s NCEI, Climate Prediction Center, and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory provided invaluable perspectives on historical hurricane data, forthcoming season forecasts, and strategic preparation methods to improve climate resilience across U.S. industries and communities.

NCEI, in cooperation with the @World Meteorological Organization, has released a collection of 1991–2020 Climatological Standard Normals from 141 countries and territories. Countries on every continent produce #ClimateNormals that collectively serve as a ruler for comparing today’s weather with tomorrow’s forecast, as well as a predictor of conditions in the near future. They are also used as a benchmark to provide context for recent or current weather and climate conditions. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ew6Hyi4Q
