Enhancing access to meteorological data allows for the beneficial production of innovative products and services that can help predict and track extreme weather events. Enhancing access to open data through cloud projects, such as NOAA’s Big Data Project, enables collaboration across disciplines through public-private partnerships, allowing for development of innovations to increase public safety during extreme events.

Presentations are particularly encouraged on topics such as cloud-based open data access strategies, scalable solutions for data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, serverless workflows and their utility in facilitating data usage, improving search and discovery of cloud-based data, and enhancing understanding of data meaning through community-based approaches.
