Earth Science AI has some issues with learning physics, which could lead to biases down the line. 😬

I feel you AI, physics was my vice in school too! 😖

Are AI models "stealing" data? It's a bit more complicated than that...

they really nailed it when they named it Hook Echo. Like… that’s a Hook Echo alright

Humans aren’t the only ones who are susceptible to bias: it has been shown in newly-evolving AI! How can we nip these glitches in the bud before they could potentially get out of hand?

We have The University of Oklahoma's Dr. Amy McGovern on the show this week to break it down: linktr.ee/WeatherGeeks

Thanks to the weather stations Dr. Baker Perry installed on Mount Everest, he noticed that there is a lot more rain than snow in the summer months. 🌧

He detailed why that's a concern 👇

I don't want to guess where else they put those batteries to get warmed up... 😳😂

be honest: if you were offered an all-expense paid expedition to the top of Mount Everest, would you take it?

26/04/2024

Both at home and abroad, episode guest Dr. Baker Perry noticed a HUGE lack of weather observations at higher elevations. That's where his entire journey started...

Some of the worst weather in the world takes place at the top of the highest mountains, but if we don't have a way to take observations up there, how can we know for sure?

We brought National Geographic Explorer Dr. Baker Perry on the show this week to discuss changing that: linktr.ee/WeatherGeeks

we've all heard of (or had) sunburns, but did you know about ice burns?! 🥶

They can occur after prolonged exposure to below-freezing temperatures. Protect yourself my covering all exposed skin when going outside!

22/04/2024

btw you can easily check to see if clothes are "sun safe" for you and your children! 👕🌞

just hold them up to the sun, and if you can see the sun through it, it's not safe and you'll still be affected by harmful UV radiation while outside!

As we head into summer, it is important to know the signs of heat-related illnesses 👇

You're supposed to wear lighter clothes and fabrics during the summer, but why do some teenagers LOVE to wear their hoodies?! 😫

Dr. Marshall Shepherd discussed in this 2022 article:

Many teens are wearing hoodies in the summer. Science might actually explain why.

Live in a cold climate? Dress in layers! 🥶 Live in a warm climate? Wear lighter fabrics! 🥵 These are more than just pieces of advice, they have foundations in science!

Tune in to our new episode with University of Alaska Fairbanks's Dr. Nicole Mölders: linktr.ee/WeatherGeeks

a piece of advice from our episode this week:

don't be scared of machine learning or AI, take some time to learn about it! It could be more helpful than you've ever realized.

15/04/2024

Would you have guessed that "weather" is the number one unbranded search term on Google?!

14/04/2024

btw, there is still a MASSIVE value in co-op weather observers all across the country! Those obs go into our weather models to make them better!

13/04/2024

One area that our current weather models struggle with is extreme weather event intensity, like hurricanes or flash flooding.

Can AI models help close that gap?

12/04/2024

How good are AI models versus the traditional weather models, like the GFS and Euro?

That's what ’s WeatherBench is evaluating with every single run!

12/04/2024

Sometimes "machine learning" and "AI" are used synonymously, but are they truly the same?

Google Senior Research Scientist Dr. Stephan Rasp explains the differences 👇
