Arctic PASSION Webinar: Artificial Intelligence meets an Accessible Arctic Air Quality Forecast

Monday, August 26th, 2024

By Lisa Grosfeld

In this online seminar on 29 October 14:00 GMT, Arctic PASSION is introducing its Air Quality Forecast for Arctic Communities (AURORAE) Service: https://aurorae.azurewebsites.net/

The AURORAE service is a web interface to monitor the air quality of the North European countries on a daily basis. It is providing a two-day forecast of particulate matter concentrations developed through an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model.

The  website offers an interactive map showing air pollution concentration and near-real-time forecast at hourly resolution for over 100 sites in Northern Europe, highlighting projected air quality conditions at each station. A daily bulletin reporting the forecast for all stations will be also released on a daily basis to provide a broad overview of air pollution status for Northern communities.

Accessible air quality forecasts can help citizens and policy-makers with informed decision making about their health, safety, and environmental protection. In this online seminar we will present and demonstrate the new forecast service and discuss it with the audience. Feedback on AURORAE via this short user survey https://app.sli.do/event/e5kB4Q2beKteDcT4qwMvYD is highly appreciated and will be used for its further development.

Speakers:

Ilaria Crotti, Polar Scientist at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission

Alice Cuzzucoli, Mathematician and AI Scientist at the Italian National Research Council

Moderation: Lisa Grosfeld and Josefine Lenz, Project Managers at the Alfred Wegener Institute and APECS
