Next-generation 5G mobile communications technology could have a harmful impact on weather forecasting in the United States, based on expert testimony presented before a U.S. House committee during a hearing on the future of weather forecasting. Interference from 5G wireless phones could reduce the accuracy of weather forecasts by 30 percent, said Neil Jacobs, Acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere at NOAA. Jacobs made the remarks to members of the Environment Subcommittee of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
The weather forecasting systems and solutions industry is projected to grow from USD 2.68 Billion in 2017 to USD 3.80 Billion by 2022
Growing need for accurate weather predictions to carry out onshore operations, increasing demand for effective air traffic control at airports, and rising need for innovative numerical weather prediction models are the major factors expected to drive the growth of the weather forecasting systems and solutions market between 2017 and 2022.
