New AI closes data gaps and shows how extreme weather emerges on Earth

13 May, 2026

Gaps in data and difficult‑to‑compare datasets limit what climate and weather AI models can reliably predict. Researchers from the ETH Domain have now introduced an AI model that helps close these gaps, reconstructs satellite images, and sheds light on how weather, land and water interact.
