Definition
- The data rescued by the International Environmental Data Rescue Organization (IEDRO) enables the meteorological and scientific communities to provide more accurate severe weather forecasting and to understand climate change. This knowledge offers the world community a greater ability to more accurately predict long-range weather patterns, and thus it enables meteorological professionals to: - Prevent famine and starvation. - Provide more accurate lifesaving flood forecasts - Prevent the spread of airborne and insect-borne disease. - Construct and reinforce buildings, bridges, and public services to withstand predicted severe weather. - Better understand the nature and extent of global warming and climate change, as well as the rate at which our climate is changing. - Gain a clearer understanding of human history.
