Weather models advance satellite tracking capabilities

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Apr 22, 2024

Researchers at the University of Helsinki's Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research (INAR) have demonstrated that modern weather prediction models can estimate the energy Earth emits and reflects into space. This energy influences the trajectories of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Utilizing these models, the team, led by Sanam Motlaghzadeh, a doctoral researcher funded by the Ness
