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.

Lessons from Fukushima: Prepare for the unlikely

A new study maps how the Fukushima Dai’ichi nuclear accident unfolded, and points to the importance of mitigation measures and last lines of defense. Here, International Atomic Energy Agency experts visit Fukushima Dai’ichi Nuclear Power Plant Unit 4 in 2013.

Future nuclear power reactors could rely on molten salts — but what about...

MIT Energy Initiative

Postdoc Weiyue Zhou (left) and Associate Professor Michael Short attach a novel test chamber containing a metal sample and salt to the end of a proton accelerator. Experiments to date show that proton irradiation decreases the rate of corrosion in certain metal alloys — potentially good news for designers of promising nuclear power reactors that rely on molten salts, which tend to be highly corrosive.
