DOI: 10.1109/jstars.2025.3614756
Abstract: Existing methods for multimodal ground-based cloud type classification are dominated by convolutional neural networks, and it fails to capture long-range dependencies. In this article, we propose a novel Transformer-based architecture named hierarchical fusion transformer (HFT)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2025.3610386
Abstract: The existing methods fail to simultaneously utilize the appearance information and the internal structure of clouds for cloud-type classification, resulting in incomplete cloud representation. In this article, we exploit cloud images and millimeter-wave cloud radar… read more here.
