New system, called Aurora and operated with three other meteorological organisations, is already showing improved results for Ireland’s weather forecasters
The organisation has teamed up with the national meteorological services in Denmark, Iceland, and the Netherlands to run a common weather forecasting model on the supercomputer, which is based in Iceland.
Ireland has long been working with the meteorological services in Iceland, Denmark and the Netherlands because “we share a lot of the same weather”, Mr Sherlock said. “The weather we get today, the Dutch get tomorrow.” With climate change producing more heatwaves, floods and heavy rainfall around the world, the four institutes, by working together, “can now respond better to weather events, helping protect lives, property, and make smarter decisions as our climate continues to change,” said Met Éireann director Eoin Moran.
