GMAO Scientist Discusses the Acceleration of Pollution Forecasts

11.08.2019

GMAO’s Christoph Keller took part in a talk at a recent NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference in Washington DC, which is discussed in a recent online article. According to Keller, air quality is a vastly underestimated problem. NASA researchers are developing machine learning models that help improve existing models. “NASA’s global models quickly produce terabytes of data, and what we’d like to do is train the machine learning model on these huge datasets,” said Keller. “That’s where we quickly reached limitations with normal software and hardware...”
