6th NOAA AI Workshop (2024)

September 16-20, 2024: 6th NOAA AI Workshop on Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Sciences

This year’s NOAA AI Workshop will bring community members together to explore leveraging AI that align with NOAA’s strategic priorities. Workshop participants will be able to form groups around selected themes and use cases that can be sustained after the workshop via online collaboration platforms. We invite scientists, AI practitioners, social scientists, and application users to join this community-driven development event.

The event is currently planned to be in hybrid format. More information, including registration details, will be announced in April.

    Previous Workshops

    Shown here are twin supercomputers Dogwood (pictured here) and Cactus are the newest additions to NOAA's weather and climate operational supercomputing system. Located in Manassas, Virginia, and Phoenix, Arizona, respectively, each supercomputer operates at a speed of 12.1 petaflops — three times faster than NOAA's former system.
    5th NOAA Workshop on Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Sciences

    The interactive, virtual workshop focused on collaboration building and active development of AI-powered applications and community standards. The workshop collaborated around two themes: Benchmarking Framework and Research-to-Operation-to-Research (R2O2R). September 19-21, 2023, virtual.

    4th NOAA Workshop on Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Sciences

    An interactive workshop to build collaboration and initiate the active development of AI-powered applications and community standards, focusing on three themes: fire weather and impacts, AI in ocean conservation, and interoperable Digital Twin Earth. September 4-9, 2022, virtual.

    High-performance computers are crucial tools for weather and climate forecast models.
    3rd NOAA Workshop on Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Sciences

    The third event continued the successes of previous workshops and encouraged participation by scientists, program managers, and leaders from the public, academic and private sectors who work in AI and environmental sciences. The theme was “Transforming Weather, Climate Services, and Blue Economy with Artificial Intelligence.” September 13-17, 2021, virtual.
