A photovoltaic system can include multiple photovoltaic power inverters that convert sunlight to power. An amount of power for each of the inverters can be measured over a period of time. These measurements, along with other data, can be collected. The collected measurements can be used to generate artificial neural networks that predict the output of each inverter based on input parameters. Using these neural networks, the total solar power generation forecast for the photovoltaic system can be predicted.

Methods and systems for preventing spacecraft damage include identifying a space weather event that corresponds to a spacecraft system failure. A spacecraft system is determined that causes the spacecraft system failure, triggered by the space weather event. A corrective action is performed on the determined spacecraft system to prevent spacecraft system failures from being triggered by future space weather events.

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for determining flood levels within a region. One method includes an operation for detecting an alert generated by one of a riverine, a coastal, or an urban model. Further, the method includes operations for selecting one or more regions for estimating flood data based on the detected alert, and for calculating, by an inundation model, region flood data for each of the selected regions based on outputs from the riverine model, the coastal model, and the urban model. Additionally, the method includes an operation for combining the region flood data for the selected one or more regions to obtain combined flood data. The combined flood data is presented on a user interface, such as on a flood inundation map.

Methods and systems for training a neural network (NN)-based climate forecasting model on a pre-processed multi-model ensemble of global climate simulation data from a plurality of global climate simulation models (GCMs), are disclosed. The methods and systems perform steps of determining a common spatial scale and a common temporal scale for the multi-model ensemble of global climate simulation data; spatially re-gridding the multi-model ensemble to the common spatial scale; temporally homogenizing the multi-model ensemble to the common temporal scale; augmenting the spatially re-gridded, temporally homogenized multi-model ensemble with synthetic simulation data generated from the spatially re-gridded, temporally homogenized multi-model ensemble; and training the NN-based climate forecasting model using the spatially re-gridded, temporally homogenized, and augmented multi-model ensemble of global climate simulation data. Embodiments of the present invention enable accurate climate forecasting without the need to run new dynamical global climate simulations on supercomputers.

Generating specific and contextualized natural language descriptions based upon raster-based weather visualizations for a defined geographic region. The generated natural language descriptions are provided in a written and/or audible form. In some cases, these natural language descriptions are generated based on weather forecast data sets that indicate a relative motion of certain weather-related events.

A method, apparatus, system, and computer program code for determining a financial risk to a financial security. A computer system obtains historical time series of the annual counts of tropical cyclones globally and of the global mean sea surface temperature. Based on a time series of annual changes in cumulative annual counts of major tropical cyclones, the computer system trains a statistical model to make projections of the annual cumulative counts of major tropical cyclones globally. The computer system uses these projections to determine the physical risk to fixed assets. Based the physical risk to the fixed asset, the computer system updates an assumption of a financial model. The computer system analyzes the financial risk of the financial security based on the financial model and the assumption that was updated.
