In this dense overview presentation (Oct 2022), Chris Rackauckas introduced Sci ML with diverse examples from many fields: epidemics, gravitational waves, pharmacometrics, ocean simulation... and some open source and proprietary Julia libraries for SciML. Highly informative!
It's most likely the FAA problem: the official Pilot Operating Handbook for their helicopters top out at 120F and they cannot legally operate them. As tstrimple points out in a sister comment, Death Valley (elevation below sea level) at 130F is like 5,000' ASL at 60F, well within most ambulance helicopters operating range.
