This project will develop and implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to improve the quality of data generated at environmental research stations. The project development and evaluation will be carried out mainly at the Station for Measuring Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relations (SMEAR stations) network nationally and internationally. The outcome of the project will lead to the automation of the SMEAR infrastructure, where scientist involvement in performing repetitive tasks can be minimized and data quality improved. This will be achieved by AI automation of data quality control and instrument calibration; these time and error-prone tasks are currently performed manually by scientists. The AI implementation will be beneficial on a global scale as the number of research stations grows across the world.
