Classification of Tropical Cyclone Rain Patterns Using Convolutional Autoencoder

Posted on

MATYAS – Classification of Tropical Cyclone Rain Patterns Using Convolutional Autoencoder Dasol Kim and Corene Matyas Article first published online: 8 January 2024 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-50994-5 ABSTRACT: Heavy rainfall produced by tropical cyclones (TCs) frequently causes wide-spread damage. TCs have different patterns of rain depending on their development stage, geographical location, and surrounding environmental conditions. However, […]

Tropical Cyclone Idai Aims at Mozambique

Posted on

The March12th NASA Earth Observatory Image of the Day was a Terra-MODIS image of Tropical Cyclone Idai, preparing to make landfall on Mozamique. For help interpreting the image, NASA asked UF Geography Professor Dr. Corene Matyas to explain what was in the image: “Several cyclones in the past have started over Mozambique and then moved […]
