Physics-informed neural networks for high-resolution weather reconstruction from sparse weather stations
The article discusses the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on one application: weather reconstruction. AI, particularly neural networks, is used to improve the accuracy and availability of weather data, which has broad implications, such as reducing airport delays and related costs. Traditional weather stations only provide data from limited locations, so AI helpsContinue reading “Physics-informed neural networks for high-resolution weather reconstruction from sparse weather stations”
Education Week: How do aircraft contrails affect climate change?
On the occasion of Education Week, the Aircraft Operations Lab UC3M participated in the science fair “Madrid es Ciencia” 2024, which took place at IFEMA. There, we showed children and teenagers the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in R&D and its potential to help mitigate the climate impact of aviation. How do aircraft contrails affectContinue reading “Education Week: How do aircraft contrails affect climate change?”
