"Global warming has led to an intensification of the water cycle with longer droughts and more intense rainfall events, threatening agricultural production and hydropower generation," Current hydrological models face challenges related to data inputs, as climate change has been presenting weather patterns atypical from historical data, and government forecast models are only accurate for about two weeks. Salient's AI-powered S2S forecast technology uses machine learning and various oceanic, atmospheric, and land-based variables to deliver breakthrough levels of reliability and predictability of weather up to a year in advance. The technology has evolved from decades of research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). "NOAA recognizes the critical need for advancing predictive capabilities related to water availability," NOAA's SBIR program is a highly competitive merit-based grant program that encourages small businesses in the U.S. to engage in research and development (R&D) with the goal of developing innovative and commercially- For more information on Salient's revolutionary S2S forecasting solution, go to: https://www.salientpredictions.com/ All trademarks recognized. # End
