* You don't have the density of sensors to see even at a meter resolution, to say nothing of femtometer. Actually in oceans you don't have many sensors at all, and most data come from satellite observations that give rather indirect information. Even if you had a capability to compute a model at femtometer resolution, I don't see how much of it would you be able to fit to observations. * It's pretty hard to predict weather for 100 days, because you would also need to predict many other events in the future: forest fires, volcano eruptions, and many kinds of human activity that also affect weather. However great are your fluid dynamic models, and however well were they able to predict the future state from today's state, they wont help that. |

At the moment, no. But maybe there will be a way to accurately sense weather data at any location from LEO. IR thermometers are pretty neat, maybe something metaphorically along those lines, a satellite with a laser technology that could beam back accurate weather data from any location, and all atmospheric locations it can see along its orbit, sending the data to ground-based ultra-computer networks running simulations.
In 1933, no one would have believed that GPS was 40 years away. In 1985 most would not have been able to understand how flat and thin color monitors were only a decade away, nor that mRNA vaccines were less that 30 years away. Similarly, we really don't know what the future of weather sensing and prediction will be like in 2070, and if we could know, we wouldn't understand how it would be possible.
