Opinion: Optimizing climate models with process knowledge, resolution, and artificial intelligence

Atmospheric chemistry and physics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 24(12), P. 7041 - 7062

Published: June 19, 2024

Abstract. Accelerated progress in climate modeling is urgently needed for proactive and effective change adaptation. The central challenge lies accurately representing processes that are small scale yet climatically important, such as turbulence cloud formation. These will not be explicitly resolvable the foreseeable future, necessitating use of parameterizations. We propose a balanced approach leverages strengths traditional process-based parameterizations contemporary artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods to model subgrid-scale processes. This strategy employs AI derive data-driven closure functions from both observational simulated data, integrated within encode system knowledge conservation laws. In addition, increasing resolution resolve larger fraction small-scale can aid toward improved interpretable predictions outside observed distribution. However, currently feasible horizontal resolutions limited O(10 km) because higher would impede creation ensembles calibration uncertainty quantification, sampling atmospheric oceanic internal variability, broadly exploring quantifying risks. By synergizing decades scientific development with advanced techniques, our aims significantly boost accuracy, interpretability, trustworthiness predictions.

Cross‐Attractor Transforms: Improving Forecasts by Learning Optimal Maps Between Dynamical Systems and Imperfect Models

Geophysical Research Letters, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 52(4)

Published: Feb. 17, 2025

Abstract Biased, incomplete numerical models are often used for forecasting states of complex dynamical systems by mapping an estimate a “true” initial state into model phase space, making forecast, and then back to the space. While advances have been made reduce errors associated with initialization forecasts, we lack general framework discovering optimal mappings between spaces. Here, propose using data‐driven approach infer these maps. Our consistently reduces in Lorenz‐96 system imperfect constructed produce significant compared reference configuration. Optimal pre‐ post‐processing transforms leverage “shocks” “drifts” make more skillful forecasts system.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(10)

Published: Oct. 1, 2023

Abstract Subgrid parameterizations of mesoscale eddies continue to be in demand for climate simulations. These subgrid can powerfully designed using physics and/or data‐driven methods, with uncertainty quantification. For example, Guillaumin and Zanna (2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021ms002534 ) proposed a Machine Learning (ML) model that predicts forcing its local uncertainty. The major assumption potential drawback this is the statistical independence stochastic residuals between grid points. Here, we aim improve simulation generative models ML, such as Generative adversarial network (GAN) Variational autoencoder (VAE). learn distribution conditioned on resolved flow directly from data they produce new samples distribution. potentially capture not only spatial correlation but any statistically significant property forcing. We test offline online an idealized ocean model. show are able predict spatially correlated Online simulations range resolutions demonstrated superior baseline ML at coarsest resolution.

Abstract In this study, we perform online sea ice bias correction within a Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory global ice‐ocean model. For this, use convolutional neural network (CNN) which was developed in previous study (Gregory et al., 2023, https://doi.org/10.1029/2023ms003757 ) for the purpose of predicting concentration (SIC) data assimilation (DA) increments. An initial implementation CNN shows systematic improvements SIC biases relative to free‐running model, however large summertime errors remain. We show that these residual can be significantly improved with novel augmentation approach. This approach applies sequential and DA corrections new simulation over training period, then provides set refine weights network. propose machine‐learned scheme could utilized generating conditions, also real‐time seasonal‐to‐subseasonal forecasts.
