Advanced Weather Model Computing Development Act

This bill directs the Department of Energy and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to work together on research that uses advanced computing, such as artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, to improve weather and climate models. The agencies would set up a formal agreement and use a competitive, merit-reviewed process open to federal agencies, national laboratories, universities, and nonprofits. NOAA would run a related initiative to test new models against current National Weather Service models, and the Energy Department could set up up to 3 centers of excellence at national laboratories. Both agencies would report to Congress within 2 years, and the initiative's authority would end 5 years after the law takes effect.
