From Particles to the Air We Breathe: Dominik Stolzenburg’s Journey into the Hidden Life of Aerosols

Dr. Dominik Stolzenburg is a chemist in atmospheric physics at TU Wien, specializing in aerosol science and air quality. His work focuses on how ultrafine particles form, transform, and affect both climate systems and human health — especially in cities. Through field measurements, modeling, and data analysis, he explores how human and natural emissions interact, helping policymakers shape cleaner ...[Read More]

Have you ever seen a weather forecast map that looked like it was wearing a striped sweater?

Have you ever seen a weather forecast map that looked like it was wearing a striped sweater?
Stripe patterns in the wind prediction.

This isn’t a new fashion trend in meteorology. For model developers, these unexpected stripes are a sign that something has gone wrong in the complex digital engine that powers our forecasts. Recently, our team at CMA Earth System Modeling and Prediction Centre (CEMC) encountered these very stripes in wind forecasts produced by an operational global model. We played the role of scientific de ...[Read More]

Harnessing Machine Learning to Advance Tropospheric Ozone Science

Machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer powerful tools to address long-standing scientific challenges. At the molecular scale, we’ve seen projects like AlphaFold discover unknown protein structures and how they might interact with other molecules.  At the planetary scale, ML-driven models like GraphCast (Google), AIFS (ECMWF) and ACE (Allen Institute for AI) are revolutionizin ...[Read More]
