The fcuk I care about Team USA for?!?!? Now if Trump is calling to put his thumb on the scale for the Detroit Pistons/Red Wings/Tigers/Lions then we'll talk!
What's the saying: "Garbage in, garbage out"? What do you think about this @4 Dimensional?
Exactly you are 100% correct the simplest way to put this is garbage and garbage out
I hope earth wind and fire sue them for doing that song. They probably tried to call fire wind fire and they said no we ain’t interested.
Obama if he was in White House right now, the 250th anniversary of this racist ass country would have been lit
FACTS
You, my good sir, ain't never lied.
Ingesting observational data into models improves forecasting. The more observed data you have, generally, you’ll get better forecasting accuracy.
However, the data is sparse, especially upper air data from weather balloons. What that means is coverage is limited in what we can observe versus how it translate into numerical weather prediction models.
We definitely need more data to model the atmosphere better. I think it would help if NOAA would disseminate their verification metrics so people can actually see how the models are performing. It will at least tell people what is performing poorly.
As far the inexperienced forecasters, NOAA had too many old boomers in office. This was hindering students coming out of college looking to get into the field. The last conference I went to was nothing but a bunch of old ass white men in NOAA positions. First thing I told myself, they need to go. While experience matters, having a bunch of old heads gate keeping positions isn’t advancing anything.
But I’m a meteorologist in SE Asia now, where they are lacking certain capabilities we enjoy here regularly. They don’t have multiple weather balloon launches across their countries. I’m actually about to head how to Cambodia, Vietnam, and Philippines in a couple of weeks. I’m helping them build up their infrastructure, especially in the aviation sector.
Europe and China are going to have to step up until we get Trump and his administration out of office
They get data from us, too, which helps their models. It’s all part of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
So data quality isn’t just affecting our models, it’s affecting theirs. China is still lagging behind and we are not allowed to use data out of communist countries due to security reasons. For example, we are not allowed to use their radar data without some type of formal agreement.
Japan is the lead meteorological country in Asia, but their data is proprietary. The US is the only nation that gives data freely.
Our models are still useful.

4h ·Trump Warns Iran: ‘Make a Deal or We’ll Finish the Job’
President Donald Trump issued a blunt warning to Iran on Monday, saying the United States will either reach a deal or “finish the job.”
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he believes the U.S. will come out on top regardless of the outcome.
“We’re either going to make a deal, or we’re going to finish the job. It won’t be tough to finish the job,” Trump said.
The president stressed that he prefers diplomacy, adding, “I’d rather make a deal because I don’t want to affect 91 million people.”
Trump also warned of America’s military capabilities, saying the U.S. could “knock out their electricity and power-generating plants in the small part of an afternoon,” adding, “And they know that.”
