Workshop: Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning
Towards the Automatic Analysis of Ceilometer Backscattering Profiles using Unsupervised Learning
Michael Dammann
Abstract:
Ceilometers use a laser beam to capture certain phenomena in the atmosphere like clouds, precipitation, or aerosol layers. These measurements can be visualized in so-called quick looks that at the moment are mostly analyzed manually by meteorology experts. In this work, we illustrate the path towards the automatic analysis of quick looks by using a hybrid approach combining an image segmentation algorithm with unsupervised representation learning and clustering. We present a first proof of concept and give an outlook on possible future work.
