Using Artificial Intelligence, Better Pollution Predictions Are in the Air
As the global climate warms, wildfires are increasing in severity and frequency, and consequently releasing more smoke-borne contaminants into the air. To better predict how and where those pollutants are traveling, APL researchers are using artificial intelligence to simulate atmospheric models and improve the resolution and speed of air quality forecasts.
