Informed scenario-based RRT∗ for aircraft trajectory planning under ensemble forecasting of thunderstorms

Maryam Kamgarpour, Eduardo Andres Enderiz

Thunderstorms represent a major hazard for flights, as they compromise the safety of both the airframe and the passengers. To address trajectory planning under thunderstorms, three variants of the scenario-based rapidly exploring random trees (SB-RRTs) are ...

Measuring the Impact of Model and Input Heterogeneity in Personalized Federated Learning

Freya Behrens

Federated Learning is explicitly designed for learning a global model from distributed, possibly sensitive non-i.i.d. data at different clients. In reality, this scenario is not always legible since in some cases the heterogeneous needs of clients cannot b ...

Large contribution to secondary organic aerosol from isoprene cloud chemistry

Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad, Houssni Lamkaddam, Daniil Salionov, Sasa Bjelic

Aerosols still present the largest uncertainty in estimating anthropogenic radiative forcing. Cloud processing is potentially important for secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation, a major aerosol component: however, laboratory experiments fail to mimic ...

System and method for privacy-preserving distributed training of machine learning models on distributed datasets

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Jean-Philippe Léonard Bossuat, Apostolos Pyrgelis, David Jules Froelicher, Joao André Gomes de Sá e Sousa, Sinem Sav

A computer-implemented method and a distributed computer system (100) for privacy- preserving distributed training of a global model on distributed datasets (DS1 to DSn). The system has a plurality of data providers (DP1 to DPn) being communicatively coupl ...

Climate change scenarios at hourly time‐step over Switzerland from an enhanced temporal downscaling approach

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Adrien Michel

Many physically‐based models for climate change impact studies require sub‐daily temporal resolution of the forcing data to provide meaningful predictions. However, climate scenarios are typically available at daily time step, severely limiting the applica ...

Geometric deep learning for medium-range weather prediction

Medium-range numerical weather prediction (NWP) is crucial to human activities. Reliable weather forecasts allow better resource management and are essential for disaster preparation. Modern NWP models provide accurate medium-range forecasts, but they requ ...

LMDZ6A: The Atmospheric Component of the IPSL Climate Model With Improved and Better Tuned Physics

Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

This study presents the version of the LMDZ global atmospheric model used as the atmospheric component of the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace coupled model (IPSL-CM6A-LR) to contribute to the 6th phase of the international Coupled Model Intercomparison Proje ...

Stochastic Super-Resolution for Downscaling Time-Evolving Atmospheric Fields With a Generative Adversarial Network

Alexis Berne, Jussi Sakari Leinonen, Daniele Nerini

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been recently adopted for super-resolution, an application closely related to what is referred to as "downscaling'' in the atmospheric sciences: improving the spatial resolution of low-resolution images. The abil ...

Short-Term Forecasting of Wake-Induced Fluctuations in Offshore Wind Farms

Arslan Salim Dar

The increasing share of offshore wind energy traded at the spot market requires short term wind direction forecasts to determine wake losses and increased power fluctuations due to multiple wakes in certain wind directions. The information on potential pow ...

Space and time predictions of schistosomiasis snail host population dynamics across hydrologic regimes in Burkina Faso

Andrea Rinaldo, Theophile Mande, Francisco Javier Perez Saez

The ecology of the aquatic snails that serve as obligatory intermediate hosts of human schistosomiasis is driven by climatic and hydrological factors which result in specific spatial patterns of occurrence and abundance. These patterns in turn affect, join ...
