Calling All AI Weather Builders
Join a global community working to solve the toughest challenge in tropical cyclone forecasting — predicting intensification — using cutting edge first of its kind satellite datasets
THE FRONTIER CHALLENGE
The Problem We're Here to Solve
Why Hurricane Intensity Forecasting Must Evolve
Escalation
The odds of a storm strengthening from Category 1 to major in under 36 hours have more than doubled in recent decades, while intensification speeds remain nearly 30% higher. [NCSU]
Intensification
Peak intensification rates have risen ~27%–29% since the 1970s: storms can gain ~22.5 kt in 24 hours on average today vs ~17.7 kt four decades ago. [Nature]
Increasingly Costly
All five of the costliest U.S. hurricanes since 2017 - Harvey, Maria, Ida, Ian, and Helene - underwent rapid intensification, together causing over $550 billion in damage.
