Efficient Neural-Network-Based High-Resolution Radiative Transfer for CO___ Retrieval, and Application to Interferometric Sensing

arXiv:2608. 14645v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Studying climate change requires reducing uncertainties in CO2 and CH4 emission estimates to better distinguish anthropogenic from natural sources, which motivates spaceborne measurements with improved revisit frequency and spatial coverage.

Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Fast Multilayer Spectral Inversion of H{\alpha} 6562.8 A and Ca II 8542.1 A Spectra

The paper presents a physics-informed neural network (PINN) that accelerates multilayer spectral inversion (MLSI) of solar chromospheric lines Hα 6562.8 Å and Ca II 8542.1 Å. The PINN predicts MLSI parameters from observed line profiles and uses a differentiable forward model to synthesize spectra, trained in two stages—first with spectral reconstruction loss, then fine‑tuned with conventional MLSI results on a single reference image. Applied to Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph data, the method reproduces key spatial structures and achieves a 12–60× speedup, processing a raster in 5–15 s versus 3–5 min for traditional MLSI.

Tropospheric temperature and humidity profile retrieval from Meteosat Flexible Combined Imager based on deep learning

The study presents a spatially aware deep learning framework that retrieves all‑sky tropospheric temperature and humidity profiles from the Meteosat Third Generation Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) without relying on numerical weather prediction background fields. Using a Residual U‑Net trained on 14 months of collocated FCI observations and CERRA reanalysis data, the model achieves temperature biases below 0.4 K and relative humidity standard deviations between 12–20 %, with modest performance degradation under cloud cover. Ablation and feature‑sensitivity analyses confirm that incorporating spatial context across all 16 FCI channels, including visible and near‑infrared bands, improves retrieval accuracy, especially beneath cloud tops.
