It is because successful cloud classification can improve the precision of weather prediction and help us to understand climatic development [6].
For infectious diseases, changing disease transmission dynamics and control policies means that models are likely to need adjustment to maintain forecast precision as weather patterns shift over time.
You don't know with sufficient precision what the weather will do".
Most mainstream meteorologists who rely on satellites and other high-tech wizardry sniff at these outlooks and contend that it is nearly impossible to predict with any precision what the weather will be on a specific date months in advance.
Five days is generally too far in the future for scientists to forecast with any precision where a weather system that has yet to fully form will go, said Brian LaMarre, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service on special assignment in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge office.
"Secure comms, [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance], missile warning, weather prediction, precision navigation and timing all rely on [space science], and the domain is increasingly contested," Masiello said in a statement.
This new GOES-R spacecraft will bring new precision to tracking U.S. weather: hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, volcanic ash clouds, wildfires, lightning storms, even solar flares.
Britain's air force, embarrassed last year by a dire shortage of precision-guided all-weather bombs, hopes to start filling that gap in the next few months.
And when a plane reaches the airport, it will use precision navigation, even in bad weather, to come straight in, like a jewel on a string of beads.
