SEMINAR LOCATION: EOA 1044 (speaker remote) SPEAKER: Dr. Yair Cohen TITLE: Combining physics and machine learning in the turbulence-convection parameterization of the CliMA climate model ABSTRACT: The representation of turbulence and convection at the subgrid scale of climate models by various parameterization schemes is one of the largest sources of model uncertainty in long term climate predictions. The crux of these parameterization schemes is the formulation of closure functions for processes that cannot be observed or simulated in high resolution models. In this talk I will present a hybrid approach that combines a physics based parameterization scheme with physical and machine learning (ML) closures. Such a hybrid approach cannot be trained using backpropagation typical to neutral networks, as this requires partial derivatives of the physics+ML setup in parameter space. Instead we use a gradient free (ensemble) method to train physics+ML setup from high resolution LES data. The hybrid approach ensures conservation properties, allows for straightforward interpretability of its data driven components and reduces the degrees of freedom to allow us to train from spares data. The physical model is based on the extended Eddy Diffusivity/Mass Flux (EDMF) scheme, derived by a systematic coarse-graining of the equations of motion and includes subgrid scale memory and prognostic equations for first and second moments. The closures for this scheme combine physical arguments with nondimensional functional forms that can be learned from data using various ML architectures. Our parameterization, in a single column of a climate models, reproduces well the corresponding LES of the full spectrum of boundary layer and turbulent motions: from polar boundary layers (vertical scale of 300m), through the stratocumulus-topped boundary layer (vertical scale of 1km), shallow convection (vertical scale of 3km), and deep convection (vertical scale of 15km). Furthermore, using ML closures we show that a hybrid model is able to extrapolate by training on current climate simulations to a validation set from 4K climate warming scenario. ??????????????????

Roles and Impacts of Current, Surface Stress and Wind Interactions in a Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere System Interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere on ?large? scales is usually thought of as dominated by thermodynamic interactions influencing the atmosphere and both wind stress and thermodynamics influencing the ocean. For models with grid spacing exceeding 20 km the role of currents in modifying this coupling is quite small. As model resolution improves, currents have been shown to have a substantial impact on the ocean. Accounting for how currents modify stress causes has been explored for ocean impacts while assuming that the atmosphere is otherwise unchanged. This modified stress results in more vertical motion in the ocean?s mixed layer and excessively reduces ocean eddies. These ocean responses will be demonstrated with and without atmospheric responses and it well be shown that these responses are very important and that they are highly dependent on atmospheric resolution. At sufficiently high resolution the atmosphere is much more variable than with coarser grid spacing, and currents contribute to organizing some of this variability, further complicating the ocean response. Part of the atmospheric response to currents will be shown to be patterns of curl and divergence of surface wind and stress, with a vorticity structure that extends to the top of the atmospheric boundary-layer and extends horizontally well beyond the strong current gradients. For the region and season examined, this coupling process causes modest changes in the atmospheric mean state. The impacts are wind speed dependent with a greater response associated with higher wind speeds. Interactions with an atmospheric front will be used to demonstrate relatively extreme atmospheric changes associated with ocean surface currents.

These laboratory-created structures give insight into geological features known as karst pinnacles. A new computational approach, specially tailored to the hyberbolic nature of the underlying PDEs, reveals convergence to a morphological attractor with high, yet finite, tip curvature. These results reverse previous hypotheses on shock formation (i.e. finite-time blowup of tip curvature), agree well with laboratory experiments, and enable simple estimates for the age of geological structures. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

SEMINAR LOCATION: EOA 1044 (speaker remote) SPEAKER: Dr. Robert West Robert West - NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory Title: Interbasin SST as a predictor of seasonal Atlantic hurricane activity Abstract: Differences in sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) between the tropical Atlantic main development region (MDR) and the tropical Pacific (Ni?o 3) are known to modulate Atlantic tropical cyclone activity through atmospheric teleconnections. However, it is unknown whether the relative local-remote SST contributions that impact tropical cyclone activity change during the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November). This work explores the seasonality of Pacific and Atlantic contributions to Atlantic hurricane activity and finds that while MDR and Ni?o 3 SSTAs are equally important for late-season (September?November) activity, early-season (June-August) activity is largely modulated by MDR SSTAs. This reflects the increased (reduced) variance of MDR (Ni?o 3) SSTAs in the early-season due to their phase locking to the seasonal cycle. Further analysis yields skillful seasonal forecasts of above- and below-average accumulated cyclone energy using an MDR-Ni?o 3 interbasin index derived from hindcasts of the North American Multi-Model Ensemble. However, the prediction skill for MDR SSTAs is lower than that of Ni?o 3 SSTAs, suggesting that increasing the prediction skill for MDR SSTAs is key to improving seasonal outlooks.

Determining fire and ember exposure of fuels that vary spatially and temporally will aid in recognizing necessary defensive actions and mitigating damages. This study develops a novel coupled water-energy balance model that predicts diurnal temperature and moisture content evolution of multi-material objects/fuels of complex shapes. The simulations are done in high spatial and temporal resolutions under changing environmental conditions. Examples of complex fuel scenarios are interface or intermix communities composed of natural and manmade random-shaped objects. The fuel ignition potential is determined by predicting the transient temperature and dryness of fuel, which depends on several parameters, including terrain, geographical location, local weather conditions, fuel material, and proximity to flame (if any exists). The model can be used in various fuel condition problems and due to its high spatiotemporal resolution, can also be coupled with computational fluid dynamics simulations when coupled physics is desired. This presentation focuses on the model theory and demonstrates that the model performs well against several existing analytical and measured data. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In this talk, I will outline ongoing research on building a new dataset valuable to both the machine learning community and the linguistic community. The new dataset will be based on COLA (Corpus of Linguistic Acceptability; Warstadt et al. 2018), a popular dataset in machine learning. I will briefly introduce COLA, the challenges it poses, and relevant linguistic distinctions (acceptability vs grammaticality). Further, I will motivate the need for new data, a different kind of data, outline its structure, and its expected relevance to machine learning and linguistics. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The following are the related information. Title: Heat extremes in a warming world Abstract: The largest negative impacts of climate change typically manifest in response to extreme events. However, the inherently rare nature of extremes raises a number of challenges in their study, including a potentially large role of natural variability and the quantification of the probability of never-before-seen events. Here, we first explore the extent to which observed changes in the distribution of summertime temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere -- including the probability of extremes -- can be explained by a "shift" in the distribution without changes in shape. Using quantile regression to allow for non-normality, we find that the vast majority of the observed behavior is explained by the "shift" mode, and climate model ensembles suggest that many of the shape changes are due to sampling of internal variability. We then test this understanding for the recent record-smashing 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave. Similar to the hemispheric-wide results, there was not evidence in advance of 2021 of significant greater warming of the upper tail compared to the mean, and a comparison to a range of analogs in a climate model large ensemble indicates that the 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave can occur without the tails shifting more than the mean, although its probability is astonishingly small. Importantly, we find many cases in the climate model where traditional extreme value analysis based on fitting Generalized Extreme Value distributions would fail to predict events as large as simulated. Finally, we expand to compound heat/humidity extremes and present new methodologies to estimate changes in humidity conditional on temperature. In contrast to expectation from climate models, the results show widespread decreases in humidity on hot days across the globe's semiarid regions. In the American Southwest, the decreases are likely explained by a lack of moisture available from the land surface, which deprives the atmosphere of moisture during the warm season. Time: 3:00 PM, Friday, Oct. 28.

However, the inherently rare nature of extremes raises a number of challenges in their study, including a potentially large role of natural variability and the quantification of the probability of never-before-seen events. Here, we first explore the extent to which observed changes in the distribution of summertime temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere -- including the probability of extremes -- can be explained by a "shift" in the distribution without changes in shape. Using quantile regression to allow for non-normality, we find that the vast majority of the observed behavior is explained by the "shift" mode, and climate model ensembles suggest that many of the shape changes are due to sampling of internal variability. We then test this understanding for the recent record-smashing 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave. Similar to the hemispheric-wide results, there was not evidence in advance of 2021 of significant greater warming of the upper tail compared to the mean, and a comparison to a range of analogs in a climate model large ensemble indicates that the 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave can occur without the tails shifting more than the mean, although its probability is astonishingly small. Importantly, we find many cases in the climate model where traditional extreme value analysis based on fitting Generalized Extreme Value distributions would fail to predict events as large as simulated. Finally, we expand to compound heat/humidity extremes and present new methodologies to estimate changes in humidity conditional on temperature. In contrast to expectation from climate models, the results show widespread decreases in humidity on hot days across the globe's semiarid regions. In the American Southwest, the decreases are likely explained by a lack of moisture available from the land surface, which deprives the atmosphere of moisture during the warm season.

All are welcome to attend. https://fsu.zoom.us/j/94273595552 Meeting # 942 7359 5552 Wednesday, Nov 2nd, 2022, Schedule: * 3:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Nespresso & Teatime (in 417 DSL Commons) * 3:30 to 4:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Colloquium - Attend F2F (in 499 DSL) or Virtually (via Zoom) Abstract: Investigating and predicting large wildland fire behavior is a longstanding research area that advanced rapidly in recent decades through expansion into an interdisciplinary field supported by computational models. The newer generation of models bidirectionally couple computational fluid dynamics models including weather prediction models with modules containing algorithms representing aspects of wildland fire behavior, simulating fire-atmosphere interactions across scales spanning three orders of magnitude. Integrated with airborne and satellite remote sensing data on wildland fuels and active fire detection, modern fire modeling systems have increased cost and complexity but are being used to address important societal problems. These include understanding how a few percent of ignitions produce exceptional wildfire events as well as destructive dynamical phenomena such as fire whirls, developing predictive systems for wildfire growth, and identifying hot spots of fine-scale extreme winds that may disrupt the electric grid and spark a rapidly spreading fire. Case studies of recent events illuminate both progress and limitations in our remote sensing systems, fire prediction tools, numerical weather prediction, and knowledge that add to wildfires? mystery and apparent unpredictability. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is a great opportunity to meet the speaker and discuss science and work/life/career topics in an informal setting. If you are interested in meeting individually with the speaker, please contact Allison Wing. Prof. Allen is available after Noon on Thursday. DATE: Thursday November 3 STUDENT Q&A: 2:15 PM, EOA 6067 SEMINAR TIME: Refreshments at 3 PM, Talk 3:15 PM - 4:15 PM. SEMINAR LOCATION: EOA 1044 (speaker remote) SPEAKER: Prof. John Allen TITLE: Severe Convective Storms: Local problems with global connections ABSTRACT: Severe thunderstorms are a local phenomena found globally, and produce a variety of hazards that include hail, tornadoes, damaging winds, lightning and heavy precipitation. In the present climate, these events produce large losses to property and life. The warming climate is expected to influence these storms, primarily through increasing thermodynamic instability as atmospheric moisture scales with warming near-surface temperatures. However, while a number of studies have explored how the climate system modulates these hazards, the focus has disproportionately favored North America and Europe. This presents a challenge, as many parts of the world that regularly experience severe thunderstorms exist in different climate regimes or latitudes which exhibit non-linear responses to the warming climate. Hence what is known for these regions does not reflect a complete picture of the expected changes to hazards. This presentation will share new insights into the frequency at which environments favorable to severe convection occur globally through the use of atmospheric reanalyses, and discuss how these environments change in response to both climate variability and change as projected using the latest generation of Coupled-Model Intercomparison Project Version 6 (CMIP6) data. Through these insights, the presentation will address the importance of mutually-collaborative international partnerships to emphasize the contributions of local expert knowledge, engaging stakeholders and encouraging the sharing of new tools to facilitate generating environmental profiles for vast arrays of data. We look forward to seeing you this Thursday! Cheers, Allison On behalf of the MET Seminar Committee -------------------------------------------- Allison A.
