- The Korea Meteorological Administration, along with the National Fire Agency and Korea Electric Power Corporation, is hosting the '2024 Weather Big Data Contest' and has proposed four challenges: numerical forecast model calibration, fog occurrence diagnosis, fire occurrence correlation analysis, and power demand forecasting.
- Applications are being accepted from May 3rd to June 10th, and the final winners will be given the opportunity to participate in the Government-wide Public Data Utilization Startup Competition.
- Through this contest, the Korea Meteorological Administration aims to discover creative ideas from citizens and further develop weather and climate convergence technologies to contribute to public safety.
The 2024 Weather Big Data Contest, now in its 10th year, opened for applications on March 3.
The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) announced that applications for the '2024 Weather Big Data Contest,' co-hosted with the National Fire Agency and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), opened on March 3.
The KMA stated that it aims to raise awareness about weather and climate fusion technologies closely related to our lives and reflect the creative ideas of citizens through this contest.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the contest, which was held to enhance the value of using weather and climate big data and to increase public convenience.
The KMA, along with the National Fire Agency and KEPCO, has prepared four tasks for the contest.
Task 1 is to develop technology that can calibrate numerical forecast models using big data, and Task 2 is to develop technology that can diagnose fog occurrence using weather big data.
Tasks 3 and 4 are prepared by the National Fire Agency and KEPCO. Task 3 involves identifying the correlation between fire incident data and meteorological and public data, and Task 4 involves forecasting the electricity demand of multi-family housing based on weather using power data.
Applications can be submitted from May 3 to June 10 through the contest website and the operating secretariat email. Anyone can apply, either individually or as a group (team size of 10 people or less), and multiple entries are allowed in different categories.
Online briefings on the contest theme and provided data, as well as category-specific big data analysis consulting mentoring sessions, are scheduled for participants. Applications are accepted until June 10, and submissions are due by June 28. The KMA will select finalists through a preliminary written review, and ultimately select 3-4 teams per category for awards.
Awarded winners will be recommended to participate in the '12th Government-Wide Public Data Utilization Startup Contest' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
Yoo Hee-dong, Commissioner of the KMA, stated, "We hope that the valuable ideas of participants in this year's 10th anniversary weather big data contest will contribute to the safety of the people, and that this contest will encourage the use of weather and climate fusion technologies in a wider range of fields."
