Low-Cost SFCW Radar Platform Advances Sub-Daily Environmental Monitoring

Researchers have developed an affordable tower-mounted SFCW radar built around a compact SDR-based VNA and enhanced RF front end. Operating in L- and C-bands with dual polarization, the system captures high-temporal-resolution microwave data on soil, vegetation, and snow processes—directly addressing the temporal gaps that limit satellite observations of rapid Earth system dynamics. The Challenge of […]

AI for Wild Weather Swings; Challenges and Solutions

This research pushes boundaries by fusing AI’s knack for spotting nonlinear links in massive datasets with the solid physics of climate models, proving we can boost reliable forecasts of extreme event stats—like how often or how bad they get—over subseasonal to decadal horizons. Why Forecasting Climate Extremes Matters In our warming world, ramped-up extremes like
