This page is part of the Climate Change AI Wiki, which aims provide resources at the intersection of climate change and machine learning.

Historical record provides valuable information for evaluating the performance of climate models with respect to the observed changes. However, especially early historical observations are available only for sparse regions. ML can help with filling in the gaps in observations to provide a complete record for different climate variables, such as ocean carbon uptake[1][2] or surface air temperature using neural networks[3], Kriging[4][5], or Empirical Orthogonal Functions[6].
