Conditional Tropical Cyclogenesis Rates via Rare-Event Sampling in a Neural Weather Emulator

John S. Schreck, William Chapman, Charlie Becker +1

We couple Forward Flux Sampling (FFS), a non-equilibrium rare-event technique from statistical mechanics, to a neural weather emulator (SDL-WXFormer, 1° grid spacing) to estimate…
