Webinar Series Part 21:
Contrails in the climate system – enhancing NWP through cloud observation and AI
This webinar presents contrails observation using all-sky imagers by Reuniwatt, as well as AI tools that have been developed to detect contrails in camera and satellite images, enabling the identification of contrail clusters. These clusters can be used to evaluate the representation of ice-supersaturated regions in the NWP model. Our speakers are happy to present the remarkable progress the CONTRAILS project has achieved in the identification, representation, and data assimilation of contrails and high cirrus clouds.
Topics discussed
- Ground-based all-sky camera observations in combination with new satellite-based cloud observations
- Trustworthy AI methods and physical models to improve the monitoring and characterisation of contrails
- Get a better understanding of the entire physical process underlying the formation of contrails
- Learn about the results of CONTRAILS and augmenting NWP models accordingly
