• Advanced technology is moving us into an advanced era of weather forecasting.  Here's what we know:
• AI methods like deep learning (DL) can crunch data and provide faster, more accurate predictions
• AI/DL can identify complex weather patterns that traditional methods could miss
• AI/DL provides more timely and accurate forecasting
• Current weather forecasting methods face limitations which AI/DL seem to supersede, according to studies
• Some key beneficiaries:  farmers, disaster response teams, travelers, etc.

NASA BOEING "ULTRA GREEN" PLANE

                                                                Super:  NASA, Boeing

• NASA and Boeing have partnered to develop an "ultra green" plane to revolutionize commercial aviation.  Here are some key facts:
• Called the Sugar Volt 
• Hybrid electric concept that's the size of a Boeing 737 but with longer wings
• Thanks to its electric engines, it is 70% more efficient than a fossil fuel-powered jet
• Electric engines work with gas engines that are used for takeoff
• During flight, the electric motors power the plane
• Foldable wings, in part to help fit into airport infrastructure
• Its longer wings will allow for shorter takeoffs and quieter operations
• Expected to hit the skies in the 2030 to 2050 framework
• Both NASA and Boeing say this ultra-green commercial jet will define the future of commercial aviation.
