CNN-based architectures can be used to increase the prediction lead time of thunderstorms
Our latest research shows that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)-based architectures can be used to increase the prediction lead time of thunderstorms in the aviation field. These results are published in the journal paper titled “Thunderstorm prediction during pre-tactical air-traffic-flow management using convolutional neural networks”. A study written by Aniel Jardinesa, Hamidreza Eivazib, Elias Zeab, Javier García-Herasa,Continue… u003cstrongu003eRead moreu003c/strongu003e

Latest paper: “Linear Contrails Detection, Tracking and Matching with Aircraft Using Geostationary Satellite and Air Traffic Data”
We celebrate the publication of this journal paper on Trajectory Optimization and Climate Change led by Rémi Chevallier, industrial PhD student at ENAC – Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile supervised by Daniel Delahaye and Manuel Soler. Abstract Climate impact models of the non-CO2 emissions of aviation are still subject to significant uncertainties. Condensation trails, or contrails, are one of these non-CO2 effects.Continue… u003cstrongu003eRead moreu003c/strongu003e
