Extreme events and statistics in an AI emulator of a global storm-resolving model

Anna Kwa, W. Andre Perkins, Troy Arcomano +7

We present HiRO-ACEv2 (High Resolution Output Ai2 Climate Emulator), a two-stage framework for AI emulation of the 3~km resolution X-SHiELD global storm-resolving model (GSRM), and…

Disentangling the effects of sea surface temperature and CO in global machine learned weather-climate emulators

Spencer K. Clark, Troy Arcomano, James P. C. Duncan +8

While previous versions of the Ai2 Climate Emulator (ACE) have been trained with CO as a forcing, they are only accurate within a narrow range of scenarios, for example climate…

HiRO-ACE: Fast and skillful AI emulation and downscaling trained on a 3 km global storm-resolving model

W. Andre Perkins, Anna Kwa, Jeremy McGibbon +5

Kilometer-scale simulations of the atmosphere are an important tool for assessing local weather extremes and climate impacts, but computational expense limits their use to small re…

ACE2-SOM: Coupling an ML atmospheric emulator to a slab ocean and learning the sensitivity of climate to changed CO

Spencer K. Clark, Oliver Watt-Meyer, Anna Kwa +6

While autoregressive machine-learning-based emulators have been trained to produce stable and accurate rollouts in the climate of the present-day and recent past, none so far have…

Improving the predictions of ML-corrected climate models with novelty detection

Clayton Sanford, Anna Kwa, Oliver Watt-Meyer +4

While previous works have shown that machine learning (ML) can improve the prediction accuracy of coarse-grid climate models, these ML-augmented methods are more vulnerable to irre…

Machine-learned climate model corrections from a global storm-resolving model

Anna Kwa, Spencer K. Clark, Brian Henn +6

Due to computational constraints, running global climate models (GCMs) for many years requires a lower spatial grid resolution ( km) than is optimal for accurately res…

Reconciling the Diversity and Uniformity of Galactic Rotation Curves with Self-Interacting Dark Matter

Tao Ren, Anna Kwa, Manoj Kaplinghat +1

Galactic rotation curves exhibit diverse behavior in the inner regions, while obeying an organizing principle, i.e., they can be approximately described by a radial acceleration re…

What the Milky Way's Dwarfs tell us about the Galactic Center extended excess

Ryan E. Keeley, Kevork N. Abazajian, Anna Kwa +2

The Milky Way's Galactic Center harbors a gamma-ray excess that is a candidate signal of annihilating dark matter. Dwarf galaxies remain predominantly dark in their expected commen…

The Galactic Isotropic -ray Background and Implications for Dark Matter

Sheldon S. Campbell, Anna Kwa, Manoj Kaplinghat

We present an analysis of the radial angular profile of the galacto-isotropic (GI) -ray flux--the statistically uniform flux in circular annuli about the Galactic center. Two di…

Lepton-Flavor Violating Mediators

Iftah Galon, Anna Kwa, Philip Tanedo

We present a framework where dark matter interacts with the Standard Model through a light, spin-0 mediator that couples chirally to pairs of different-flavor leptons. This flavor…

Hidden Sector Hydrogen as Dark Matter: Small-scale Structure Formation Predictions and the Importance of Hyperfine Interactions

Kimberly K. Boddy, Manoj Kaplinghat, Anna Kwa +1

We study the atomic physics and the astrophysical implications of a model in which the dark matter is the analog of hydrogen in a secluded sector. The self interactions between dar…
