Deep Thunder™, IBM’s High Resolution Weather Forecasting System
Deep Thunder™, one of IBM’s 100 Icons of Progress, is a hyper-local weather forecasting capability that combines high resolution weather modeling, unique data and tailored dissemination and visualization to predict short-range, very local weather. For the Jefferson Project, Deep Thunder™ provides 72-hour forecasts each day for the Chautauqua Lake area, at 1 kilometer resolution. Deep Thunder™ ties forecasted precipitation, temperature and soil conditions data to the runoff model, and wind, solar irradiance, precipitation and temperature to lake circulation models.
The Deep Thunder™ model runs each night at 10 PM EDT, generating a forecast for the next 72 hours. The process runs overnight with the forecast available the next morning.
