Virtual Event: ECMWF-ESA Workshop on Machine Learning for Earth System Observation and Prediction

The Rise of AI for EO

AI and EO is a marriage made in heaven!,
Today, AI is in the midst of a true “renaissance”, driven by Moore’s Law* and now super-fed by Big Data. We believe AI has a huge, but still largely untapped potential for EO technology. In a sense, we are now at an inflection point, at a kind of crossroads of opportunities, whereby on the one hand AI is becoming one of the...

In this presentation we will attempt to demonstrate that adopting modern AI techniques, including ML, has the potential to optimize the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) process and ultimately, the Earth System Model of the future, when all components of the Environment become coupled at the assimilation and forecasting levels. In this presentation, we will highlight some of the results of an...

In the last few years, the Earth System Science community has rapidly come to adopt machine learning as a viable and useful approach for doing science, and it has been applied to a surprising diverse array or problems, with an ever-increasing degree of success. However, despite our progress, there remains much to learn. In its current form, ML may be best viewed as an alternative and...
