Ana Marza is a PhD student with a background in Earth Sciences and a passion for automation. Her current research (in partnership with Bern University of Applied Sciences) is in using machine learning algorithms to investigate the sources of sub-seasonal predictability. For example, do certain precursor patterns in Atlantic sea surface temperatures predict European weather in the coming 2-8 weeks?
Understanding when and why current numerical weather prediction models fail to make accurate predictions at sub-seasonal lead times is of great interest to stakeholders in the renewable energy industry.
