Earth Intelligence Engine

The Earth Intelligence (EI) Engine for weather and climate includes a novel AI testbed platform to support rapid, effective decision-making and long-term, strategic planning and operations for USAF. Advances in AI help close the gap between AI researchers and available Earth systems data via a platform connecting data and models, novel algorithms, and image gap-filling tasks to bridge lower-quality to higher-quality weather and climate data sets. The EI Engine will provide the USAF with improved algorithms for anomaly detection; critical remote access to centralized Earth intelligence data; intuitive supercomputer visualizations of Earth intelligence for mission support; improved nowcasting weather forecasting for mission operations; and strategic location identifications affected by climate change to enhance resource allocation. The goal is to develop a platform, which provides global scale to high-resolution local scale Earth weather and climate data and visceral visualizations to better inform policy decision-makers and leaders in government and business.

Are you up for a Challenge?

Modern deep learning approaches show promising results in meteorological applications like precipitation nowcasting, synthetic radar generation, front detection, and several others. The DAF-MIT AI Accelerator is working to rapidly develop new approaches to these challenges. The AIA is seeking collaborators from across the globe to leverage a curated, "machine learning ready" dataset. Learn more about the challenge here.
