Understanding Past Weather to Improve Future Predictions

Conclusions |
Proving the skeptics wrong, the new and advanced data assimilation method studied by Compo, Whitaker, and Sardeshmukh has demonstrated that the idea of compiling old weather data and blending them is a feasible technique worthy of future investment. After creating the weather maps of the past 100 years, the researchers hope that better computer models can be developed based on this new historical data. The challenge will then be to understand why the weather of the past varied and whether we can predict how it may change in the 21st Century.
