Taegyun Jeon, CEO and founder of SI Analytics, will present an AI-based climate prediction solution at COP 28 (the 28th Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, starting on the 30th.
The presentation, recommended by UNESCO, was selected as the winning case in the ‘AI For Good-AI/ML Solutions for Climate Change’ challenge, a digital platform under the UN ITU (United Nations International Telecommunication Union).
SI Analytics will showcase weather intelligence AI solutions led by Dr Yeji Choi and Doyi Kim, research scientists of the Earth Intelligence Division, addressing global issues caused by weather data inequity and climate change using AI. Dr. Yeji Choi mentioned that the SI Analytics weather intelligence solution will contribute to the UN’s ‘Early Warning for All’ initiative.
‘GeoCloud’ aims to improve the accuracy of weather and climate predictions by anticipating the movement of clouds, while ‘GeoRain’ aims to provide accurate prediction data, ensuring a high temporal resolution of 2km. This capability allows the monitoring of sudden heavy rainfalls, such as flash floods, and provides detailed climate information even to more remote regions such as small island nations in the Pacific.
These solutions accurately predict the weather in meteorologically underserved areas deprived of physical weather radars. It is anticipated that combining recently developed typhoon path prediction models with GeoRain and GeoCloud will enable rapid preparedness for disasters such as typhoons.
Furthermore, the ‘Building Damage Assessment’ service, contributing to disaster recovery from severe weather and climate changes, aims to offer precise insight into damage recovery by swiftly detecting damage over a wide area. SI Analytics ultimately contributes to decision-making data, with typhoon landing area prediction and damaged infrastructure assessment, aiming to minimize the scale of damage caused by climate change.
