  • Using AI to close a data gap in the Arctic

    sea ice in the Arctic has several key functions in the Earth's climate system: it reflects large parts of the solar radiation, thus slowing down global warming and it drives global ocean and air currents [...] outside our window. How the sea ice retreats or expands depends largely on the energy balance of the Arctic Ocean surface. However, there is a lack of data from direct observations, meaning that studies have [...] AI-supported model that can correct these biases and thus contribute to a better understanding of Arctic climate processes.

The Arctic is not spared from this trend [...] However, due to local processes and conditions, marine heatwaves in the Arctic differ fundamentally from those in non-polar oceans.
