New machine learning paper on the use of crowdsourced observations and high-resolution land cover to downscale and bias correct kilometre-scale operational air temperature forecasts to hectometre scale in urban areas. doi.org/10.1002/met.2200

Machine learning bias correction and downscaling of urban heatwave temperature predictions from...

Using conventional weather models, it is both difficult and computationally expensive to accurately simulate the urban heat island (UHI) at neighbourhood scale. We use machine learning to bias...

PhD Student Marzie Naserikia and coauthors recently published a paper in @SciTotEnv on the role of urban form and seasonality in land surface and air temperature dynamics. Check out the graphical abstract, plus the thread for key findings and links. Congrats to all involved!

Exploring electricity demand vs temperature at suburb level over 24hrs: on the left a classic "V" response in a suburb with large residential %, little weekend difference. On right large industrial %, no V, large weekend difference. In middle, large commercial %, mixed response.

If there are any sad software engineers in biotech or light field/augmented reality you should really look at SAR tomography which is absurdly understudied and will be a huge deal if affordable high res commercial InSAR is realized in the near future eo.ifu.ethz.ch/forschung/Tec…
