Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Environmental Science, the 14th Symposium on Advances in Modeling and Analysis Using Python, the 14th Conference on Transition of Research to Operations, the Committee on Open Environmental Information Services, and the Board on Data Stewardship)

The need to understand linkages between climatic extremes and security outcomes such as displacement/migration, public health, and food/electricity production has never been higher. Analysis of these linkages requires integration of the Earth, social, economic, and political sciences as well as equitable access to community datasets, data proximate compute, community developed data analysis workflows and open source software tools. In this session, we invite submissions that discuss research, applications and initiatives that build upon the principles of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) Open Data and Software within the atmospheric and related sciences to drive new discoveries. We welcome technical, policy, and community-focused submissions on a range of topics related to facilitating transparency of science and leveraging community supported open science capabilities to drive research and operational outcomes. Examples include:

Research, operations and industry uses that employ a combination of public cloud compute, cloud hosted datasets such as those provided through NOAA’s Open Data Dissemination Program, and open source data analysis tools and workflows.
Solutions for data and software discoverability, metadata creation and management, provenance tracking, and other relevant topics.

Platforms for reproducible research and reusable tools will accelerate the analytics enterprise and build the salience, credibility, and legitimacy required to effectively inform policy. This session will highlight emerging open-science tools and platforms for weather and climate-security analysis.

Interagency Coordination within the Federal Weather Enterprise

Federal government agencies active in meteorological services and supporting research have worked together for decades using existing programs, projects and coordination mechanisms, which involve multiple government agencies and aim to increase overall effectiveness within the Federal Weather Enterprise (FWE).

This session will begin with a description of the new Interagency Council for the Advancement of Meteorological Services (ICAMS), the first significant reorganization of the Federal meteorological enterprise since the 1960s. A 10-year charter established ICAMS as the formal mechanism by which all relevant Federal departments and agencies coordinate implementation of policy and practices to ensure U.S. global leadership in the meteorological services enterprise, from local weather to global climate. In doing so, ICAMS improves coordination, as mandated by the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017. This session will focus on the furthering and expanding work that has been done over the last two years to integrate a whole of government approach to Federal Weather Enterprise and Non-Federal partners, leveraging organizations across the country to institute end-to-end processes to advance weather services for the United States.

Using AI and Digital Twin Technologies to Advance Scenario Planning

Location: 339 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Scenario planning and tabletop exercises provide opportunities for decision makers to immerse themselves in near-realistic situations. The military, emergency management, and increasingly other government entities use scenario planning to make important long-term planning decisions. There is an entire industry built around game theory and the science of decisions, but one of the challenges in this space has always been making the scenarios as realistic as possible. With the rise of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and digital twin technologies, scenario planning that incorporates environmental science information and data inputs is advancing. AI/ML can accelerate the data-to-decision time space needed in scenario planning, and when combined within digital twins using generative or other forms of AI, can provide visualizations depicting realistic scenarios. This session will explore the use of AI/ML and Digital Twins to advance scenario planning. across a variety of use cases including:

Earth Digital Twin technologies: understanding our planet, climate change, and how the choices we make can result in a healthier Earth in the future.
AI and Digital Twin technologies in city planning: using environmental information to explore municipal decisions of storm water management, placement of critical infrastructure, or other city planning decisions.

AI and Digital Twin technologies in improving health outcomes: where do we need to optimize air quality sensor placement? Where might EV charger placement be optimal to reduce greenhouse gases?
AI and Digital Twin technologies to support emergency preparedness: using realistic visualizations to depict weather or climate events for community planners to enhance their community preparedness plans for disasters

Cloud Computing for Big Data in Atmosphere, Ocean, and Climate I

Location: 344 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Weather imposes constraints on human activity. As a consequence, most decision-makers/planners seek awareness to mitigate or eliminate weather impacts. As datasets become larger and larger, new and improved tools to work with Big Data are critical. This session welcomes contributions from research fields such as scientific visualization, information visualization or visual analytics that are applicable to large data sets from climatology, meteorology or related disciplines. Presentations on using cloud computing for analyzing satellite and model data for weather, ocean, or climate relevant applications will also be welcomed.

Democratizing Data: Environmental Data Access and Its Future

Location: 355 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

One of the tenets of big data is the idea of the (2,4, 7) V’s - Volume, Velocity, Variety, Variability, Veracity, Visualization, and Value. With the increase in the volume and velocity of data, access becomes ever more challenging. Users have access to more types of data and they can become overwhelmed by the possibilities. In the past, data access has been confusing but now there is more user engagement in building friendlier and more usable interfaces. Discovery is now more flexible and all encompassing - for example using schema.org to enable data discovery and via Google search. This increased use of data is not limited to scientists and other professionals. Citizens use data more than they realize (maps, elevation charts, tides, etc.) so they are constantly accessing data from a variety of sources.

There remains a broader community goal to have improved data access with the aim of democratizing data by removing gatekeepers so that data are unrestricted and available in a meaningful way to all. Improved access to data also supports data equity - “The term “data equity” captures a complex and multi-faceted set of ideas. It refers to the consideration, through an equity lens, of the ways in which data is collected, analyzed, interpreted, and distributed.” By making data more easily accessed and used we also make the ability to use data more equitable.

We want to gather a set of papers that bring together all aspects of the data access process with a focus on improving data access for a wide range of users. We propose the following structure:

data discoverability
data access
data and service equity
data usability
user interface/engagement/input
visualization tools
reproducibility and tracing - after access

A Review of Modern Drone Observations and the Need for Drone Platform Standardization and Autonomy

Location: 355 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The development of drone technologies has led to new in situ and remote sensing methodologies. Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have use cases including weather modification, atmospheric observations, hydrological studies, general GIS, and greenhouse gas emissions monitoring. This technology has become more prevalent in these fields over the past decade (Miller 2023, Jung et all, 2022, Henneberg 2023, many more).

This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive review of modern drone observations in meteorological research and emphasize the need for drone platform standardization and autonomy. We will discuss the current state of drone technologies used in various meteorological applications, focusing on their capabilities, limitations, and potential for future improvements and standardization. By examining these case studies, we will showcase the diversity of drone platforms and the challenges associated with integrating data from various sources. The lack of standardization in drone platforms and autonomy can present challenges to data sharing, and the reproducibility of research findings at scale.

The development of autonomous drone systems can obtain airborne observations in novel ways. Autonomous drones can operate beyond visual line of sight collecting data for extended periods without human intervention. However, the lack of standardized protocols and regulations for autonomous drone operations poses challenges in terms of human safety, reliability, and data quality assurance.

By addressing these challenges, we can foster collaboration among researchers and support the reproducibility of data. This will be critical as drone studies and in field use continue to become more prevalent. The insights gained from this review will inform future research directions, policy recommendations, and technology development efforts in the field of meteorological drone applications.

Special Session on Innovative Applications of Aerial-based Image Collection and Use for Natural Disaster Response

Location: 355 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Since 1980, the United States has sustained 378 one-billion dollar weather and climate disasters. Beyond the financial implications of such events, these disasters have varied and long-lasting impacts on human and natural systems across the country. Often these impacts are greatest in socioeconomically marginalized communities that may not have access to resources to recover from such events. Analyses suggest that the number and costs of such weather and climate disasters is increasing due in part to increased exposure, vulnerability, and frequency of extreme natural disasters. Fortunately, many Federal, state, local, and tribal government sectors have established protocols for responding to such events, often while leveraging resources from industry and academic partners.

Although the specific missions vary across the disaster response spectrum and from event to event, an accurate account of damage assessment from aerial image collection has proven to serve as a critical starting point for many of these functions. Particularly as it relates to weather related natural disasters, for emergency managers, rapid collection and analysis of such information aids in determining the need for disaster declarations and mobilization of critical resources for efficient response and recovery. During severe storm and flood events, National Weather Service offices can use the same data to document the cause and severity of damage, then relay important impact-based information to the public. For researchers, accurate, high-fidelity data can be used to diagnose sub-storm scale processes after the fact, and use the information to improve the science of forecasts and warnings for future events.

Regardless of the specific application, innovative use of aerial-based platforms and the development of efficient procedures for their deployment are essential to effectively prepare for future disasters and adaptively enable quality data collection for damage assessments.

This special session aims to bring together developers and operators of novel aerial image collection methods (e.g., uncrewed aircraft) for storm damage assessment, and combine them with relevant stakeholders and decision makers, to share the current state of research and operational applications, and to spark collaboration and innovation for greater societal and environmental benefit.

Weather and the Roads

Location: 344 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Adverse weather conditions have a major impact on the safety and operation of our nation's roads, from low volume rural roads and signalized arterials to interstate highways. Weather affects driver behavior, vehicle performance, pavement friction, and roadway infrastructure. Weather events and their impacts on roads can be viewed as predictable, non-recurring incidents that affect safety, mobility and productivity. Weather affects roadway safety through increased crash risk, as well as exposure to weather-related hazards. Weather impacts roadway mobility by increasing travel time delay, reducing traffic volumes and speeds, increasing speed variance (i.e., a measure of speed uniformity), and decreasing roadway capacity (i.e., maximum rate at which vehicles can travel). Weather events influence productivity by disrupting access to road networks and increasing road operating and maintenance costs.

This session will consist of discussions on road weather technologies, infrastructure, observations, and forecasting. We invite road weather professionals and other practitioners to share best practices and lessons learned from road weather-related management strategies including:

Road Weather Technologies: systems that include road weather components.
Road Weather Infrastructure: deployed infrastructure that captures weather/road weather and infrastructure that utilizes road weather (i.e., signal systems).
Road Weather Observations: weather/road weather observations that are captured from infrastructure and how they are used for operational and maintenance activities.
Road Weather Forecasting: new innovations and best practices in road weather forecasting.

Automated Vehicles & Meteorology

Location: 344 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Weather (atmospheric conditions) and road weather (pavement conditions) can adversely affect vehicle and driver behavior. With the advent of automated vehicles (AVs), multiple entities have begun research and testing to identify how vehicles and drivers will detect and react to adverse weather and road weather conditions. AVs have sensors and perception systems to detect objects and events in their vicinity. Using this information, fully automated vehicles control the steering, speed, or both to move the vehicle along its selected path. The vehicle’s ability to properly perceive the situation and execute a maneuver can be affected by atmospheric and road weather. As more advanced automated vehicles are deployed, there becomes an even greater need to connect the vehicle and meteorology communities together to make sure solutions are identified for operational and safety activities, long-term planning, and policy making.

This session will consist of discussions on the meteorology needs for operating automated vehicles. We invite the road weather community and automated vehicle specialists to explore use cases on how road weather meteorology can support automated vehicles during adverse weather including:

Automated Vehicle Testing: results of automated vehicle testing during adverse weather and test track scenarios.
Meteorology Forecasting and Observations: available technologies and forecasts that can or could support automated vehicles (all levels).
AMS Automated Vehicles & Meteorology Summit: share key findings and lessons learned from the Summit held Jun 25-27, 2024, in Ann Arbor, MI.

Decision Support Systems used for Transportation

Location: 344 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

In the transportation sector, adverse weather and road weather events pose a significant impact to the safety of the traveling public and affects the productivity and economic stability to commerce. Adverse weather and road weather events include, but are not limited to, flooding, high winds, low visibility, freezing rain, snowstorms, tornadoes, tropical storms, and hurricanes. To support managing the transportation system, decision support systems are being researched, piloted, and used operationally in transportation agencies or by their consultants/vendors. With these decision support systems, research continues as new technologies are added to the systems. The research activities are conducted by Federal agencies (i.e., Federal Highway Administration, National Weather Service), transportation agencies, academia, non-profits, private sector, etc.

This session will consist of discussions on decision support systems that support road weather management activities. We invite road weather professionals and decision support system owners/users to share best practices and lessons learned from road weather-related management strategies that use the systems.
