Machine learning models improve wind profile reconstruction accuracy

Researchers have developed machine learning models to reconstruct atmospheric boundary layer wind profiles, outperforming traditional analytical methods. The study, which analyzed over 158,000 IGRA soundings, found that models like CatBoost, TabM, and FT-Transformer achieved significantly lower RMSE values compared to power-law and Monin-Obukhov fits. A Fourier Neural Operator was also employed as a post-hoc corrector, further improving near-surface accuracy. AI

IMPACT Advances in ML for atmospheric science could improve weather forecasting and renewable energy siting.
