Deep learning tackles cloud detection
To better understand Earth systems, atmospheric scientists use cloud data collected by a remote sensing tool called lidar. These data are an important part of global forecasting, but analyzing lidar images by hand is time-consuming. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory teamed up to see if a deep learning model could process lidar data better than current automatic detection techniques.
