ibmblr: Science of Solar Racing Eye on the skyYou don’t win a challenging, solar race through the Australian Outback by just looking at what’s up ahead. You’ve got to set your sights higher. With a super wide-angle IBM sky camera atop University of Michigan’s lead car, student strategists can read sky conditions to predict the radiation that the race car can experience 10–15 minutes down the road. Meanwhile, cognitive technology can apply this information against historical and live weather data to give even longer-range solar forecasting insights. Yes, friends, on the World Solar Challenge raceway, or in the lab, science is a team sport. -- source link
