Prediction of Extreme Events in Multiscale Simulations of Geophysical Turbulence using Reinforcement Learning

Yifei Guan, Lucas Amoudruz, Sergey Litvinov +4

Accurate subgrid-scale closures are essential for weather/climate models, where predicting extreme events is critical. Traditional closures have structural errors, e.g., producing…

An Analytical and AI-discovered Stable, Accurate, and Generalizable Subgrid-scale Closure for Geophysical Turbulence

Karan Jakhar, Yifei Guan, Pedram Hassanzadeh

By combining AI and fluid physics, we discover a closed-form closure for 2D turbulence from small direct numerical simulation (DNS) data. Large-eddy simulation (LES) with this clos…

Semi-analytical eddy-viscosity and backscattering closures for 2D geophysical turbulence

Yifei Guan, Pedram Hassanzadeh

Physics-based eddy-viscosity and backscattering closures are widely used for large-eddy simulation (LES) of geophysical turbulence, but their key parameters are often chosen empiri…

Online learning of eddy-viscosity and backscattering closures for geophysical turbulence using ensemble Kalman inversion

Yifei Guan, Pedram Hassanzadeh, Tapio Schneider +4

Different approaches to using data-driven methods for subgrid-scale closure modeling have emerged recently. Most of these approaches are data-hungry, and lack interpretability and…

Data Imbalance, Uncertainty Quantification, and Generalization via Transfer Learning in Data-driven Parameterizations: Lessons from the Emulation of Gravity Wave Momentum Transport in WACCM

Y. Qiang Sun, Hamid A. Pahlavan, Ashesh Chattopadhyay +6

Neural networks (NNs) are increasingly used for data-driven subgrid-scale parameterization in weather and climate models. While NNs are powerful tools for learning complex nonlinea…
