XAIDA Webinar #18

The 18th session of our webinar will occur on June 10th, 2025 at 10AM (10:00) CET. During this webinar Dr. Pradeebane Vaittinada Ayar will discuss his work on ‘Ensemble Random Forest for Tropical Cyclone Tracking’.
‘Even though tropical cyclones (TCs) are well documented during the intense part of their lifecycle until they start to evanesce, many physical and statistical properties governing them are not well captured by gridded reanalysis or simulated by Earth system models. Thus, the tracking of TCs remains a matter of interest for the investigation of observed and simulated tropical cyclones. Two types of cyclone tracking schemes are available. On the one hand, some trackers rely on physical and dynamical properties of the TCs and user-prescribed thresholds, which make them rigid. They need numerous variables that are not always available in the models.
On the other hand, trackers are leaning on deep learning, which, by nature, needs large amounts of data and computing power.’
