🚨 New blog post 🚨
In it, we show off our recent work deploying #icechunk on top of #NASA's existing archives of Earth observation data. The results: 100x speed up when extracting time series from existing datasets stored as netCDF.
Be there. We will be. April 5. Find your local site here.

A public information statement from the National Weather Service announces the temporary suspension of radiosonde observations (weather balloon launches) in Albany, New York, and Gray, Maine, due to staffing shortages. The document outlines details about the suspension and provides contact information.
Radiosondes on weather balloons are essential for collecting data from the upper atmosphere for accurate forecasting. Due to the mass firing at NOAA, the NWS doesn’t have enough people to launch balloons. 🎈
Accurate weather forecasts save lives.

Congratulations Randy! We will miss you in the NOAA ai4nwp space, but we're excited for you and your next steps. Looking forward to hearing more about your work at tomorrow.io

You're not going to find a magic money-printing machine that will give you these types of reliable returns year-after-year. NOAA and NWS don't just keep us safe - they create immense value for the American taxpayer.
