Independently I was just wondering tonight why weather forecasting does not use some Machine Learning techniques as there is an abundance of training data. Wouldn't any number of regression ML algorithms find a more accurate prediction model? If Google did weather....
Do they also make raw sensor data available for free? I.e. if I wanted to build my own forecast system based on this code, I would still need all the data they collect with weather balloons, right?
Fortran 90 is still the language computational stuff is made in today. I'm not convinced, however, that that choice is really for performance reasons over cultural reasons.<p>Still, Fortran 90 is hell of a lot better than Fortran 77, which unfortunately is the language of choice for some of the people I'm being asked to work with.
