The National Weather Service is about
to boost its computing power by more than tenfold, which officials
hope will translate to better weather forecasts.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's two
supercomputers will more than triple in computational ability this
month January, 2015 and more than triple again by October, 2015.
Computers will go from now being able to handle 426 trillion
operations per second to 5,000 trillion calculations per second
later in October, 2015.
NOAA chief Kathryn Sullivan, in a press release, said the computer
boost, "Will lead to more timely, accurate, and reliable forecasts."
It would be nice if some of the climaticogasmic scientists would
upgrade their capabilities to predict, rather than just forecast.
