Operational forecasting and meteorological research that leverages the flexibility and scalability of cloud computing environments is rapidly becoming a reality, and enabling capabilities and dataflow at a velocity previously considered out of reach. Join thought leaders from the private and public sectors to discuss real world examples of success and the emergent trends in this domain. We will be discussing examples and best practices focused on: short term forecasting and Numerical Weather Prediction; empowering statistical, machine learning, and AI applications; ingesting large and diverse data sets; and building scalable, resilient and cost effective systems.
