Reconstruction of cloud vertical structure

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

This work explores the feasibility of solving atmospheric remote sensing problems with machine learning using conditional generative adversarial networks (CGANs), implemented using convolutional neural networks. We apply the CGAN to generating two-dimensional cloud vertical structures that would be observed by the CloudSat satellite-based radar, using only the collocated Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer measurements as input.
