🚨🆕📄 New paper out! How can we connect numerical simulations with real-world measurements? 🤔 We propose a machine learning/deep learning foundation model using pre-training (on particle-resolved simulation data) and fine-tuning (with limited real-world data) to estimate aerosol mixing states🤖
Integrating Simulations and Observations: A Foundation Model for Estimating the Aerosol Mixing State Index
Accurately predicting aerosol mixing states in real-world environments is crucial for understanding their impacts on climate change and human health. However, observational data inherently exhibit spa...

One of the best lists of questions for a PhD viva or defense that I've seen.

Thank you to the original author Rebecca Ferguson (@r3beccaf.bsky.social), then a research fellow at The Open University, now a professor emerita.

We're in the process of specifying the long-overdue overhaul of our web presence. Regarding the supersite live feeds, is there any functionality people would like to see? Please don't expect miracles, but I'm interested in hearing ideas.

I personally feel there’s no difference.😄

Could you please add me? Thanks! 😊

Count me in! 😊
