NZO Cloud Presents: Cloud Computing in Weather Modeling
Meteorological data from satellites, weather stations, buoys, and radar systems requires HPC to be processed quickly and efficiently.
Cloud HPC integrates this data into real-time weather models, improving forecasts’ accuracy and timeliness. Processing these large datasets without HPC would be impractical, causing delays and inaccuracies.
- Climate models, essential for understanding long-term climate patterns and future scenarios, rely on HPC to run complex simulations of atmospheric, oceanic, land, and ice interactions.
- HPC supports high-resolution models for accurately predicting extreme weather events’ formation, path, and intensity.
- HPC is vital for real-time forecasting and early warning systems, which help mitigate the impacts of severe weather.

HPC has reduced the rate of false alarms for severe weather events by about 50%, leading to more reliable warnings and better public trust
HPC-driven models have improved the accuracy of hurricane path forecasts by approximately 70% over the past two decades
Utilizing HPC for weather predictions has improved forecast accuracy by 20-30% over the past decade
Balancing Weather HPC With Cloud Spend
Balancing computational resources with budget constraints is challenging. While unlimited computing power is ideal, most meteorological organizations operate within fixed government and academic budgets. Cloud providers like AWS, Google, and Microsoft offer cost calculators, but managing pay-as-you-go plans and continuously monitoring cloud costs can be cumbersome.
This often leads to either sacrificing computational resources to cut costs or attempting to secure extended budgets, which is rarely successful. A viable alternative is choosing a cloud provider that offers fixed pricing for a set amount of computational resources.
NZO Cloud provides this control. It offers 100% dedicated high-performance cloud resources in a customizable environment. With NZO, you get 53% more computational power compared to other cloud vendors, optimizing your cloud environment efficiently with technologies like AI.
Organizations That Trust NZO Cloud
Who is NZO Cloud?
Traditional cloud vendors don’t give you much control over your costs. Sure, there are cost calculators and monitoring tools that you can use to help optimize your cloud usage budget—but balancing performance, storage, and security is easier said than done. Often, organizations end up overspending and not getting the performance, security, and resources they need to maintain a successful cloud environment. NZO Cloud gives full control of the cloud back to the user so that security, performance, design, and, most importantly, cost, are completely dictated by you.
Standardized Subscription Pricing
Offers greater budget control compared to the pay-per-service pricing that is standard for traditional cloud service providers
Custom Configured Cloud Resources
Rather than adjusting your business’s cloud environment to fit into a traditional cloud provider’s ecosystem, you retain full control from our software engineers helping you configure custom cloud resources.
Greater Performance Control
With NZO, you can speed up complex workloads, quickly extract valuable insights, and make real-time decisions. NZO includes our free Cloud Orchestrator SDK for HPC, AI, and ML. Our engineers will collaborate with you through our agile development process.
Unmatched Security
NZO provides a single-tenant cloud environment accessible only through secure, encrypted protocols: HTTPS+SSL, SSH (AES-128 or AES-256), or custom private VPN (AES-256). Critical data is protected by a dedicated firewall, configurable to your security standards.
