Mexico’s climate supercomputer could change forecasting
Mexico is investing in a national climate supercomputer called Coatlicue to improve weather forecasting and provide earlier warnings for dangerous weather. The supercomputer will process enormous amounts of data and support scientific research, artificial intelligence, and entrepreneurial projects.
Mexico is developing a national climate supercomputer to enhance weather forecasting. The Coatlicue supercomputer will process hundreds of thousands of trillions of operations per second, making it the most powerful in Latin America. Led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, a climate science and energy engineering expert, the project aims to deliver sharper forecasts and earlier warnings for severe weather. Researchers will feed decades of weather records into the system, focusing on densely populated regions like Mexico City. The supercomputer will also support energy management, agricultural planning, and artificial intelligence research. Mexico partnered with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center to standardize weather data and improve forecast accuracy.
