Making climate models relevant for local decision-makers

MIT Department of Earth Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences

A new downscaling method used in climate models leverages machine learning to improve resolution at finer scales. By making these simulations more relevant to local areas, policy makers have better access to information informing climate action.

An AI dataset carves new paths to tornado detection

MIT Lincoln Laboratory

Mark Veillette (left) and James Kurdzo compiled TorNet, an open-source dataset containing thousands of radar images depicting tornadoes and other severe storms. The dataset can serve as a benchmark for researchers to develop tornado-detecting AI algorithms.

Using deep learning to image the Earth’s planetary boundary layer

MIT Lincoln Laboratory

This schematic of the planetary boundary layer (red line) shows exchanges of moisture and movement of aerosols that occur between the Earth's surface and this lowest level of the atmosphere. Lincoln Laboratory researchers are using deep learning techniques to learn more about PBL features, important for weather and climate studies.

A new way to quantify climate change impacts: “Outdoor days”

A new measure of rising temperatures, called “outdoor days,” describes the number of days per year that outdoor temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold for people to go about normal outdoor activities, whether work or leisure, in reasonable comfort.

The science and art of complex systems

MIT senior and physics major Gosha Geogdzhayev works to develop “emulator” models that can learn from large-scale global climate models to answer more specialized questions about the impacts of climate change.
