Projekte:

Artificial Intelligence for GNSS Reflectometry: Novel Remote Sensing of Ocean and Atmosphere (AI4GNSSR), a Helmholtz AI project, utilizes advanced artificial intelligence techniques in conjunction with Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) for monitoring oceans and atmosphere. This project aims to improve the accuracy, depth, and utility of geophysical data derived from spaceborne GNSS-R measurements, fostering better predictive models and environmental monitoring.  By integrating AI with GNSS-R, the project seeks to set new standards in the field, focusing on identifying and correcting environmental effects, enhancing the understanding of physical processes, and estimating other crucial geophysical parameters. The exploration of the various AI algorithms is expected to improve the quality of existing data products, particularly under extreme environmental conditions, and broaden GNSS-R's applications in weather forecasting, climate research, and disaster management. AI4GNSSR's innovative efforts are paving the way for enhanced scientific insights and more effective policy development, significantly contributing to global environmental resilience and sustainability.
