Excited to share this emerging team research led by @JaideepPathak on autoregressive AI for km-scale atmospheric prediction. First glimmers of 1-5h convective forecast skill competitive with HRRR alongside plausible generated moist updrafts. Preprint:

Thanks for shining a light on our latest hybrid simulation results. Iā€™ve been working on this problem for > 7 years starting with @PierreGentine and @raspstephan & these are phase-changing results. @zeyuan_hu absolutely excelled during his @nvidia internship. Check out his talk!

Zeyuan Hu (Harvard University) and his colleagues have been working on developing machine-learning (ML) subgrid parameterizations for convection and radiation using the ClimSim dataset. By integrating microphysics constraints into the ML emulator, their work achieves stable and skillful multi-year hybrid climate simulations with near operational-level complexity including geography, seasonality, and explicit cloud condensate coupling. If this sounds interesting then please consider our AGU sessionĀ where this and more like it will be being presented as talks: and as posters: Please get in contact if thereā€™s anything I can help you with. Look forward to seeing you there! :) Conveners: Simon Driscoll (Reading - primary convener), Sara Shamekh (NYU/Courant), Aakash Sane (Princeton - @aakashsane), Laura Mansfield (Stanford/now Oxford - @lau_mansfield), Michael Bosilovich (NASA), Arun Kumar (NOAA/NCEP);Ā ECR: Will Gregory (Princeton - @willjgregory_);Ā Chairs on the day: Simon Driscoll, Michael Bosilovich, Will Gregory, Aakash Sane. #ml #ai #reanalyses #climate #environment #AGU24

Please see this new work on reformulating diffusion ML models to more naturally handle the heavy tailed statistics that are intrinsic to water cycle state variables in the earth system. Itā€™s delightful to work on atmospheric science with generative AI experts @nvidia research!

Despite how much has changed in the AI / climate space since this excellent 2022 workshop, many of the challenges reviewed in its summary paper remain relevant research frontiers. Grateful to its leaders for including our viewpoint from work @nvidia @uciess @UCIPhysSci @LeapStc

@Barrett_Weather Agreed! It was nice to see that the model was able to exploit the HRRR's DA and initialize off real time analyses -- implicitly gaining benefits of radar assimilation crucial to outperforming the NCAR MPAS spring forecast ensemble (see appendix). @JaideepPathak for viz.

Itā€™s been so exciting to see all this organic energy around our benchmark for hybrid AI + physics multi-scale climate simulation. I love working with @LeapStc @uciess @nvidia and all the institutions that contributedā€¦ canā€™t wait to see what new is learnt from the top fits!
