Host: 23rd Annual Student Conference

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are rapidly evolving areas of research in the atmospheric sciences. These techniques are becoming more prevalent in forecasting and model development, and continuous improvements are helping to enhance the scientific understanding of atmospheric principles. This session will allow you to hear from professionals who work with AI/ML techniques regularly through an overview of the field and three lightning talks. A Q&A session will follow.
