Artificial Intelligence for Atmospheric Sciences: A Research Roadmap Citation: Zaidan, M. A., Motlagh, N. H., Nurmi, P., Hussein, T., Kulmala, M., Petäjä, T., & Tarkoma, S. (2025). Artificial Intelligence for Atmospheric Sciences: A Research Roadmap. Revolutionizing Environmental Monitoring: The paper illustrates how AI is transforming atmospheric sciences by bridging the gap between computer science and environmental research. It details how AI processes massive datasets generated by diverse sources—including satellite imagery, ground-based research stations, and low-cost IoT sensors—to improve our understanding of air quality, extreme weather events, and climate change. Optimizing Infrastructure and Prediction: Current AI applications are already enhancing operational meteorology and Earth system modeling. By utilizing techniques like deep learning and neural networks, researchers can automate sensor calibration, detect anomalies in real-time, and simulate complex climate scenarios with greater speed and efficiency than traditional physical models allow. A Roadmap for Future Hardware: To handle the escalating demand for data, the authors propose a hardware roadmap that…
