[Weather Forecast] New Supercomputer to Augment Weather Bureau's Forecasting Accuracy
[Weather Forecast] New Supercomputer to Augment Weather Bureau's Forecasting Accuracy (<a href=http://mepopedia.com/forum/read.php?127,28157>Chinese Version</a>)
<i>CNA - Focus Taiwan</i> (2012/11/25) The Central Weather Bureau said on November 25 that a supercomputer that will be used to forecast weather starting in December will greatly enhance the accuracy of weather reports.
The bureau said it had purchased the new system to allow constant weather updates as the older system could no longer support the forecasting software in terms of speed and definition.
Compared with the old system, the supercomputer is smaller in size but nearly hundred times faster, it added.
The bureau said it was currently conducting trial runs and the system was scheduled to commence official forecasts from December 11.
The new system was purchased from Japan for NT$500 million (US$17.2 million) and was expected to be delivered over three years in stages, the bureau said.
