Severe Weather Prediction Using Quantum Information Theory

Technology Description

Leveraging recent breakthroughs in brain imaging for MRI, new techniques realized in software have been developed for analyzing severe weather systems.  Using a series of radar time series, early and local identification of tornado formation (tornadogenesis) has been demonstrated.  Applications for this work include wide-area networks of sensor-stations to realize very discrete, town-level, early identification of tornado development.

Applications of this technology could realize a much more granular understanding of tornado formation and movement, as well as much more accurate early warning systems that reduce false-positive notifications.

This work is available for commercial development.
