IBM Deep Thunder

IBM Deep Thunder

Deep Thunder is a research project by IBM that aims to improve short-term local weather forecasting through the use of high-performance computing. It is part of IBM's Deep Computing initiative that also produced the Deep Blue chess computer.

Deep Thunder aims to provide local, high-resolution weather predictions customised to weather-sensitive business operations.[1]. The project began as an outgrowth from a project designed to help provide accurate weather forecasts for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.[2]. It is now headquartered at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center.
