About this technology
Overview
This software will allow for the emulation of radiative transfer, specifically within exoplanet atmospheres. It will calculate the heating and cooling of atmospheric layers from incident stellar radiation and thermal flux. Broadly, this will involve a module to solve radiative transfer the traditional way to create a training set, and a module to learn the important relations based on this data. The ML architecture will be a recurrent neural network and/or a transformer model. These methods have been used before in Earth atmosphere contexts.
