Deep learning model retrieves atmospheric profiles from satellite data

Researchers have developed a deep learning framework to retrieve tropospheric temperature and humidity profiles using data from the Meteosat Third Generation Flexible Combined Imager. This new method, a spatially aware Residual U-Net, can extract these profiles without relying on numerical weather prediction background fields. When validated against independent radiosondes, the model demonstrated temperature biases below 0.4 K and standard deviations of 1.5-1.9 K, with relative humidity standard deviations ranging from 12-20%. The framework shows improved performance even under cloud cover, indicating its potential for autonomous atmospheric monitoring. AI

IMPACT Enables more autonomous and independent atmospheric monitoring by improving satellite data analysis.
