We have real time sat imagery of our weather patterns.
*I* can see what is coming or not. The forecasting tool does not
do that great a job and is it my phone\'s computer\'s forcast or coming
from the site feeding me the weather imagery? Either way it aint that
great and hardly the main utilization factor.
Weather modeling is done on a bigger scale looking at storm systems
crossing the ocean in our direction (US).
Our local stuff used to be predicted by individual opinions of
local meteorologists. Now even they all rely on a nationally
available data set, which is where my app from a Michigan TV station
sources its data. The app works fine here, hundreds of miles away.
My phone is great. I also have an anatomy app on there and I can
look at individual piece of cartilage and it will tell me what its
name is. It looks real cool on my iPad. I have one for the brain as
well.
Movies used to take hours and hours of frame rendering time to
\'render\' a frame of movie video and all the CGI was in its infancy.
Now I have a multi-core Xeon and a Quadro graphics card and can do
3D rendering at 4K resolution.
And they just came out with Unreal Engine 5. It is friggin\'
amazing how far they\'ve come.

Climate simulation uses enormous multi-CPU supercomputer rigs.
Not so; it\'s WEATHER mapping and prediction that uses the complex
data sets for a varied bunch of globe locations doing sensing, to
make a 3-d map for the planet\'s atmosphere. Climate is a much
cruder problem, no details required. Much of the greenhouse gas
analysis comes out of models that a PC spreadsheet would handle
easily.
