Understanding weather patterns requires a deep study of atmospheric conditions, including an awareness of cloud types and classification of tropical storms. Each element plays a crucial role in meteorology.
"Weather basically touches every aspect of our lives ... it's also one of the big scientific challenges, predicting the weather," says Ilan Price, a senior research scientist at DeepMind. "Google DeepMind has a mission to advance AI for the benefit of humanity. And I think this is one important way, one important contribution on that front."
