Advanced Weather Model Computing Development Act
This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) to collaborate on research using advanced computing techniques like AI and high-performance computing to improve weather and climate models. It mandates a competitive funding process for research partnerships with National Laboratories, universities, and other entities, and authorizes up to three "centers of excellence" at DOE National Labs focused on developing these models. The bill also requires annual reports to Congress on progress, collaboration, and future opportunities, with the program set to expire after five years. It directly affects NOAA, DOE, National Labs, and academic institutions participating in the research initiatives.
