Research abstract

á Curley Enterpriseĺs real-time weather monitoring application, FrostyFlake, is an AI-powered, geographically dispersed (CONUS and OCONUS capable) weather monitoring algorithm that provides continuous monitoring of current weather conditions and automated alerting. FrostyFlake uses AI algorithms and computer vision to detect weather phenomena in real time from available camera networks and publicly available data streams to push out location-accurate real-time weather alerts while also generating its own weather data streams. AI algorithms ôseeö current weather as experienced on the ground to continuously monitor current weather conditions at scale while providing automated alerting of inclement weather through any smart device, notifying subscribers through SMS/text messages, and improving accuracy as operational analysis in the target area continues. FrostyFlake also provides historical weather data and trends, and its map view, paired with text, email, or other notifications provide dispatch and field level information for operational decision-making. FrostyFlake provides accurate weather analysis through traditional observation, bolstered by 21st century AI. Through the use of camera networks, sensors and publicly available data streams from weather monitoring stations, satellites, radar, and forecasting services, FrostyFlake is able to determine weather conditions in real- time. The service communicates through several potential mediums, like text messages, emails, and embedded widgets on IoT devices, allowing for persistent observation of selected sites. Changes in forecasted weather conditions are immediately forwarded to weather-sensitive stakeholders in order to give them the ability to save lives, time, and money.
