China-led team develops AI system to track radar-disrupting space hurricanes

A China-led team has developed an AI system to detect space hurricanes, a phenomenon in the Earth’s upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite signals, radar and radio communications. While the hurricane-like atmospheric phenomenon can have major space weather effects, detection has so far relied on a tedious process of studying satellite images manually. The team said it had developed a new deep-learning system that could automatically detect and pinpoint space hurricanes through ultraviole...
