Objective

Philip Gabriel of the CSU Department of Atmospheric Sciences has written a fortran model of the atmosphere. Given parameters representing the properties of clouds in various layers of the atmosphere, Philip's model produces an expected power spectrum of the light received by a satellite. To determine the atmosphere properties from an observed power spectrum, this model must be effectively inverted. We are experimenting with an application of artificial neural networks to learn this inverse mapping.
