Deep learning model retrieves atmospheric profiles from satellite data

Researchers have developed a deep learning framework using a Residual U-Net architecture to retrieve tropospheric temperature and humidity profiles from the Meteosat Third Generation's Flexible Combined Imager. This method, trained on European data and validated against radiosondes, achieves temperature biases below 0.4 K and standard deviations of 1.5-1.9 K, with relative humidity standard deviations of 12-20%. The model demonstrates improved performance under clouds and highlights the utility of visible and near-infrared channels, offering a way to monitor the atmosphere autonomously without relying on numerical weather prediction forecasts. AI

IMPACT Enables more rapid autonomous atmospheric monitoring by extracting reliable profiles from satellite data independently of NWP forecasts.

RANK_REASON The cluster contains a research paper detailing a new deep learning model for atmospheric profile retrieval.
