Problem the AI is intended to solve

The MAPP (modeling, analysis and prediction program) remote sensing retrieval algorithm for the upcoming PACE (plankton, aerosol, cloud, ocean ecosystem) satellite mission uses neural networks to drastically improve the computational speed and capability of determining aerosol, cloud, and ocean properties from space-based measurements of the Earth.

Expected benefits

This framework can be used to train neural networks for a variety of satellite and airborne sensors, including passive polarimeter and hyperspectral sensors and active lidar instruments, to better understand the Earth's dynamic atmosphere, ocean and land systems.

System outputs
