  • Meteoswiss Good to Know Postdoc on Climate Change and Heat Stress
    Federal Department of Home Affairs FDHA Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss MeteoSwiss Good to know The Swiss Federal Office for Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss is the Swiss National Weather Service. We record, monitor and forecast weather and climate in Switzerland and thus make a sus- tainable contribution to the well-being of the community and to the benefit of industry, science and the environment. The Climate Department carries out statistical analyses of observed and modelled cli- mate data and is responsible for providing the results for users and customers. Within the team Cli- mate Prediction we currently have a job opening for the following post: Postdoc on climate change and heat stress Your main task is to calculate potential heat stress for current and future climate over Europa that will serve as a basis for assessing the impact of climate change on the health of workers. You derive complex heat indices from climate model output and validate them against observational datasets. You will further investigate the predictability of heat stress several weeks ahead on the basis of long- range weather forecasts. In close collaboration with international partners of the EU H2020 project Heat-Shield you will setup a prototype system of climate services, including an early warning system. Your work hence substantially contributes to a heat-based risk assessment for different key industries and potential productivity losses across Europe. The results will be a central basis for policy making and to plan climate adaptation measures. Your responsibilities will further include publishing results in scientific journals and reports, reporting and coordinating our contribution to the European project and presenting results at national and international conferences.

  • An Ensemble of Deep Learning Models for Weather Nowcasting Based on Radar Products’ Values Prediction
    applied sciences Article NowDeepN: An Ensemble of Deep Learning Models for Weather Nowcasting Based on Radar Products’ Values Prediction Gabriela Czibula 1,*,† , Andrei Mihai 1,† and Eugen Mihule¸t 2 1 Department of Computer Science, Babe¸s-BolyaiUniversity, 400084 Cluj-Napoca, Romania; [email protected] 2 Romanian National Meteorological Administration, 013686 Bucharest, Romania; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-264-405327 † These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: One of the hottest topics in today’s meteorological research is weather nowcasting, which is the weather forecast for a short time period such as one to six hours. Radar is an important data source used by operational meteorologists for issuing nowcasting warnings. With the main goal of helping meteorologists in analysing radar data for issuing nowcasting warnings, we propose NowDeepN, a supervised learning based regression model which uses an ensemble of deep artificial neural networks for predicting the values for radar products at a certain time moment. The values predicted by NowDeepN may be used by meteorologists in estimating the future development of potential severe phenomena and would replace the time consuming process of extrapolating the radar echoes. NowDeepN is intended to be a proof of concept for the effectiveness of learning from radar data relevant patterns that would be useful for predicting future values for radar products based on their historical values. For assessing the performance of NowDeepN, a set of experiments on real radar data provided by the Romanian National Meteorological Administration is conducted. The impact of a data cleaning step introduced for correcting the erroneous radar products’ values is investigated both from the computational and meteorological perspectives.

Integration and calibration of NDIR CO2 low-cost sensors, and their operation in a sensor network covering Switzerland Michael Mueller1, Peter Graf1, Jonas Meyer2, Anastasia Pentina3, Dominik Brunner1, Fernando Perez- Cruz3, Christoph Hüglin1, and Lukas Emmenegger1 5 1Empa, Swiss Federal Institute for Materials Science and Technology, Duebendorf, Switzerland 2Decentlab GmbH, Duebendorf, Switzerland 3Swiss Data Science Center, Zurich, Switzerland Correspondence: Michael Mueller ([email protected]) Abstract. 10 More than 300 LP8 CO2 sensors were integrated into sensor units and evaluated for the purpose of long-term operation in the Carbosense CO2 sensor network in Switzerland. Prior to deployment, all sensors were calibrated in a pressure and climate chamber, and in ambient conditions co-located with a reference instrument. To investigate their long-term performance and to test different data processing strategies, 18 sensors were deployed at five locations equipped with a reference instrument after calibration. Their accuracy during 19 to 25 months deployment was between 8 to 12 ppm. This level of accuracy requires 15 careful sensor calibration prior to deployment, continuous monitoring of the sensors, efficient data filtering, and a procedure to correct drifts and jumps in the sensor signal during operation. High relative humidity (> ~85%) impairs the LP8 measurements, and corresponding data filtering results in a significant loss during humid conditions. The LP8 sensors are not suitable for the detection of small regional gradients and long-term trends. However, with careful data processing, the sensors are able to resolve CO2 changes and differences with a magnitude larger than about 20 ppm.
