Chinese scientists use machine learning for precise Antarctic sea ice prediction

Chinese scientists made accurate predictions regarding Antarctic sea ice for December 2023 to February 2024 using deep learning methods. The research team utilized a Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (ConvLSTM) neural network to construct a seasonal-scale Antarctic sea ice prediction model. Their forecast indicated that Antarctic sea ice would remain close to historical lows in February […]
