China-led team develops AI system to track radar-disrupting space hurricanes

AI Summary

A China-led research team has developed an AI system using deep learning to automatically detect space hurricanes, which are atmospheric phenomena in Earth’s upper atmosphere that disrupt satellite signals, radar, and radio communications. The AI system replaces the previous manual and tedious detection methods, enhancing space weather monitoring.

A China-led team has developed an AI system to detect space hurricanes, a phenomenon in the Earth’s upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite signals, radar and radio communications. While the hurricane-like atmospheric phenomenon can have major space weather effects, detection has so far relied on a tedious process of studying satellite images manually. The team said it had developed a new deep-learning system that could automatically detect and pinpoint space hurricanes through ultraviolet...
