Growing a new generation of scientists to face #extremeprecipitation and #severestorms over the #Alps

[EXPATS2 @EXPATS_ideas4s]

The preparation of our dataset for a supervised classification of cloud development from MSG with respect to hail is in its final stages.

Stay tuned for first ML classification attempts in the upcoming weeks!! Exciting times ahead!

How’s your summer going? 🌞 We’re busy at Expats, classifying cloud regimes over the Alps using infrared data from MSG and a self-supervised model inspired by Chatterjee et al. (2023). Check out how t-SNE and ISOMAP reveal distinct cloud structures! #AI #Clouds

Tomorrow, the first IDEA-S4S workshop will take place at DWD, Offenbach. PhD students from Italy and Germany will present their projects, and DWD experts will give lectures on key topics.

Contact us at [email protected] for hybrid event details!

We've kicked off two student projects in the METFUT course:
🛰️ Project 1: Transforming night IR into VIS images with Deep Learning model for round-the-clock weather monitoring.
🌧️ Project 2: Using MSG data to develop a rain-detecting model with Random Forest.

Check out this first plot of the hail probability that we were provided with here at @CNRISAC!

Derived with the "MicroWave Cloud Classification-Hail probability detection method (MWCC-H)" by Laviola et al. 2020a (doi:10.3390/rs12040621).
