AI model improves accuracy of atmospheric delay prediction for astronomy and geodesy

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Oct 21, 2025
Researchers at the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a hybrid deep learning model that significantly enhances the accuracy of atmospheric delay prediction-a key factor affecting both astronomical observations and geodetic measurements. Electromagnetic waves slow as they pass through the Earth's atmosphere due to variations in air density and water vapor, producing what scientists call "tropospheric delay." This phenomenon introduces measurement err ... read more
