122nd Data Assimilation and Prediction Science Seminar

Title: Thirty Years of Artificial Intelligence in Satellite Remote Sensing: From Atmosphere to Surface Waters
Abstract: For over 30 years, our research has explored the potential of machine learning and artificial intelligence for satellite remote sensing of the Earth system. This presentation will highlight two major research directions. First, we will discuss atmospheric remote sensing using the IASI instrument, focusing on the retrieval of atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles, as well as cloud characterization. Second, we will present our activities in monitoring continental surface waters, wetlands, and peatlands, combining multi-satellite observations and advanced AI methodologies, with particular emphasis on recent developments enabled by the SWOT mission. These applications illustrate the growing contribution of AI to Earth observation.
