Artificial Intelligence for Weather and Climate

Dear Colleagues,

 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an explosively growing field of computer science which is expected to transform many aspects of society in a profound way. Following a series of scientific and technological breakthroughs, AI techniques are witnessing a growing interest and successful deployments in a plethora of domains and applications. AI techniques analyze large amounts of unstructured and heterogeneous data, and discover and exploit complex and intricate relationships between these data, without recourse to an explicit analytical treatment of those relationships.

 

As AI techniques are data driven, in principle they are well suited for application in weather forecasting (WF) and climate monitoring (CM), as they rely on a vast amount of meteorological observations, with a prominent place for satellite remote sensing. 

 

The main objective of the Special Issue is to draw the attention of the remote sensing community to the rapidly evolving domain of modern AI and its applications. For this Special Issue, we invite contributions related to the application of AI techniques to WF and CM. Particular areas that could be addressed include:

• Observations of quality control/bias correction/data fusion
• Nowcasting
• Data assimilation
• Process parameterization
• Postprocessing of NWP output
• Multimodel superensembles
• Warnings for high-impact weather
• Subseasonal and seasonal forecast
• Decadal climate prediction

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
