It gathers data from sensors placed throughout fields that measure the temperature and moisture levels in soil and surrounding air.
The system then combines the field data with a diversity of public data from the National oceanic and atmospheric administration the National aeronautics and space administration and the U s. Geological Survey and private data from companies like Earth Networks.
A supercomputer processes the combined data and generates a four-dimensional mathematical model derived from the physics of the atmosphere.

however, brings the technology much closer to reality. Australian scientists have developed the first silicon quantum technology capable of holding data with over 99 percent accuracy

#Camera shoots and compresses image in one go Today s cameras take images as'raw'arrays of pixels,
which can take up many megabytes of storage, and then use data-compression algorithms such as JPEG to store the image in a smaller file."
"Why collect that data in the first place? asks John Hunt, an engineer at Duke university in Durham, North carolina,
The trick is figuring out what data to acquire, says Richard Baraniuk, an electrical and computer engineer at Rice university in Houston,
But it is not possible for a device to know what is important before the data are recorded.
Compressive sensing works by sampling at random##eliminating the need to sift through data ##and it still produces enough information to generate a good image.
In 2006 Baraniuk and his colleagues made the first optical camera that produced multi-pixel images with a single-pixel sensor.
An algorithm compiles data from each wavelength to generate a complete image every 0. 1 seconds.
A team member started analysing the data on the drive back from the missile range, and immediately saw evidence of braids in the twists of coronal gas.
The researchers say that their technique could easily be scaled up to store all of the data in the world.

For example, CERN, the European particle-physics lab near Geneva, currently stores around 90 petabytes of data on some 100 tape drives.
Goldman s method could fit all of those data into 41 grams of DNA. This information should last for millennia under cold,
Goldman s group developed a more complex cipher in which every byte#a string of eight ones
The system encodes the data in partially overlapping strings, in such a way that any errors on one string can be checked cross against three other strings.

but that will rarely be accessed, such as CERN s data. If costs fall by 100-fold in ten years,

Those data have enabled cosmologists to work out when the Big bang happened, estimate the amount of unseen dark matter in the cosmos
These precise measurements show that the Universe is expanding slightly slower than estimated from WMAP's data.
The Planck data also implies that dark energy makes up 68.3%of the energy density of the Universe,
a slightly smaller proportion than estimated from WMAP data. The contribution of dark matter swells from 22.7%to 26.8%
