[Webinar Series] AI in Meteorology: Intelligent camera cloud operators for numerical weather prediction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>

The project ICamCloudOps, funded by BMVI\/mFUND, invites you to a webinar presenting the intermediate results of the project to the public. ICamCloudOps is a cooperation between DWD, the german weather service, and Reuniwatt, funded by mFUND<\/a>, the “modernity fund” of the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI). The project that started in May 2020 aims at the development and evaluation of new so-called “forward operators” for numerical weather prediction that employ artificial intelligence and ground-based camera observations of the atmosphere. The main goal of the project is to improve hour-scale forecasts of clouds and cloud-related phenomena such as rain or thunderstorms. While the weather has major impacts on the entire transport sector (air, road, rail, water), ICamCloudOps makes use of machine learning methods and innovative data sources for improved weather forecasts.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    About the speakers:<\/h3>\n<\/div>

    Prof. Roland Potthast<\/strong>, Head of Division FE 1 at DWD and project coordinator of the mFUND project ICamCloudOps, and Dr. Frederik Kurzrock<\/strong>, energy meteorologist at Reuniwatt, will give an introduction to the project and explain how ICamCloudOps will advance the state of the art in cloud cover forecasting.<\/p>\n

    M.Sc. Sybille Schoger<\/strong> and Dr. Maria Reinhardt<\/strong>, research scientists at DWD, will explain the use of AI for cloud detection in webcam images and discuss the assimilation of sky camera observations into weather models.<\/p>\n

    Finally, Dr. Leonhard Scheck<\/strong>, research area director at the Hans-Ertel-Centre for Weather Research, and solar forecasting expert Dr. Louis-Etienne Boudreault<\/strong> (Reuniwatt) will deliver in-depth talks about radiative transfer and cloud information retrieval using infrared sky imagers and open the forum for a scientific discussion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
