What it does
- Sec. 3: Requires the Secretary of Energy and the NOAA Administrator to carry out collaborative research and development in artificial intelligence and high performance computing focused on climate models and operational numerical weather prediction relevant to agency missions.
- Sec. 3: Requires the two agencies to carry out this research through a memorandum of understanding or other interagency agreement that uses a competitive, merit-reviewed process considering applications from Federal agencies, National Laboratories, institutions of higher education, nonprofit institutions, and other appropriate entities.
- Sec. 4: Requires the NOAA Administrator, in collaboration with the Secretary of Energy, to carry out an initiative that runs advanced models to conduct proof of concept scenarios in comparison with current issued forecasts and models.
- Sec. 4: Allows the initiative to run real-time weather forecast scenarios comparing National Weather Service issued forecasts with forecasts from operational models run on high performance computers.
- Sec. 3: Requires the Secretary and the Administrator to submit a report to House and Senate committees within two years after enactment on interagency coordination, collaborative research achievements, and other listed topics.
- Sec. 4: Ends the authority for the initiative five years after the date of enactment of that section.
