Using machine learning to downscale coarse-resolution environmental variables for understanding the spatial frequency of convective storms

Hungjui Yu, Lander Ver Hoef, Kristen L. Rasmussen +1

Global climate models (GCMs), typically run at ~100-km resolution, capture large-scale environmental conditions but cannot resolve convection and cloud processes at kilometer scale…

HRRRCast: a data-driven emulator for regional weather forecasting at convection allowing scales

Daniel Abdi, Isidora Jankov, Paul Madden +5

The High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model is a convection-allowing model used in operational weather forecasting across the contiguous United States (CONUS). To provide a comp…

Predicting Tropical Cyclone Track Forecast Errors using a Probabilistic Neural Network

M. A. Fernandez, Elizabeth A. Barnes, Randal J. Barnes +4

A new method for estimating tropical cyclone track uncertainty is presented and tested. This method uses a neural network to predict a bivariate normal distribution, which serves a…

Indicator patterns of forced change learned by an artificial neural network

Elizabeth A. Barnes, Benjamin Toms, James W. Hurrell +3

Many problems in climate science require the identification of signals obscured by both the "noise" of internal climate variability and differences across models. Following previou…

Physically Interpretable Neural Networks for the Geosciences: Applications to Earth System Variability

Benjamin A. Toms, Elizabeth A. Barnes, Imme Ebert-Uphoff

Neural networks have become increasingly prevalent within the geosciences, although a common limitation of their usage has been a lack of methods to interpret what the networks lea…
