No, because 100% of the data that Google trains their models on comes from federal research investment.

It was also forecast by virtually every NWP system multiple days ahead of time that it would make this intensification.

I wish there was a way that your comment could be pinned. The context is so important here and radically re-frames the impact of GDM's results. Folks need to understand that with m…

For what it's worth, that paper is a spiritual successor to Keisler (2022) which was the first published work that took this approach: https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.07575

If there is an active attempt at privatizing NOAA then you should be able to point to specific, real-world things that are happening to effect this change.

> Their budget proposals trying to slash a quarter of NOAA budgets doesn't seem like a cherry-picked issue... Because these aren't part of a plan specifically targeting NOAA. They'…

Before I rebut, I want to make very clear - I'm correcting the record because _in the future_ there could be serious threats to NOAA. Crying wolf today when things are tenuous but …

You do understand how this isn't an example of what I'm asking for, right? In 20 years worth of history - you can't identify a single piece of legislation or a single executive act…

> Meanwhile you fully acknowledge they attempted to radically downsize twice in less than two years and acknowledge they've massively expanded the existing forecast commercializati…

And I dare you to find another attempt in the intervening 20 years. Santorum's bill was laughed out of Washington. It stands alone.

I don't know who runs that website, but it has flat out falsehoods on it. If you search for "NOAA", two items come up with notes [1]: 1. "Note: The administration is firing NOAA em…

There have been no signs whatsoever that these types of changes would be happening. The only noticeable changes at NOAA - and anyone who works in the world of meteorology in the Un…

And that literally isn't happening.

Biased about what? There really isn't any Earth observation you could make that can't be grossly compared with other types of observations. There is literally no value in taking "b…

> The problem is that those very same private companies are trying really hard to ban the government from providing the same data for free to the general public, because it would b…

There has not.

I'm not aware of any private company that has a contract with NOAA or the NWS to privately disseminate the agency's weather data (either acquired itself or purchased commercially).…

Can you share more about who you are and what your firm does? Apologies if this interpretation is off-base, but I don't think it's a good thing that there is a nascent cottage indu…

But not even. At least in the domain I work in, there is virtually no interest of engaging with these NSF programs. Regardless of what's put in writing in the calls for applicants,…

That would be a crappy trade; today, the public benefits multiple times over as commercialization of technology drives the innovation economy. Who cares about sharing a measly frac…

Pedantry isn't really an admirable trait.

Deal. Put $10,000 in escrow and point me to your lawyer to work out the details.

I'm not the big Lebowski but this is the "opinion" of the majority of scientific societies in the US as well as watchdog organizations who have long followed science regulatory and…

Yes. Myself and colleagues used to get outreach fairly regularly to join new faculty at universities trying to establish themselves in China. I'm in industry these days, but some o…
