NeuralDMD: Interpretable Neural Representation of Dynamics from Sparse and Noisy Measurements

Many challenges in scientific imaging involve solving ill-posed inverse problems, where the goal is to recover spatio-temporal fields from indirect, noisy, and highly sparse measurements - often without access to ground truth data or reliable simulators. To address this challenging scenario, we present NeuralDMD, an in...

Can AI Forecast the Extremes? Evaluating Probabilistic Weather Models on Tropical Cyclones

Weather prediction is undergoing an important shift, with data-driven AI models outperforming leading numerical weather prediction systems on average at a fraction of the computational cost. Yet, whether this success extends to extreme events remains contested. Earlier evaluations have exposed important shortcomings, b...

KNOU-Flood: Advancing global streamflow forecasting with lead-aware probabilistic machine learning

Global streamflow forecasting supports flood preparedness, yet data-driven models trained on reanalysis lose skill when driven by operational forecasts, increasingly so with lead time. AIFL addresses this shift with a two-stage transfer-learning recipe and a deterministic LSTM, but it feeds one forecast lead time into...

Forecast lead time and the timing of crew deployment for weather-driven power outages using AI weather models

Utilities request mutual aid crews to restore power after severe storms, and requesting early secures more crews but relies on less accurate forecasts. We examined how forecast lead time affects the value of outage predictions for crew deployment, using operational forecasts from two AI weather models, GraphCast and Fo...

Njord: A Probabilistic Graph Neural Network for Ensemble Ocean Forecasting

Njord, a probabilistic data-driven model for ocean forecasting, applicable to both global and regional domains, is introduced, combining a deep latent variable framework with a graph neural network architecture, enabling sampling each forecast step in a single forward pass.

Long-Range Distillation: Distilling 10,000 Years of Simulated Climate into Long Timestep AI Weather Models

Accurate long-range weather forecasting remains a major challenge for AI models, both because errors accumulate over autoregressive rollouts and because reanalysis training datasets provide limited sampling of the slow modes of variability underpinning predictability. Most AI and all numerical weather prediction models...

Towards accurate extreme event likelihoods from diffusion model climate emulators

ML climate model emulators are useful for scenario planning and adaptation, allowing for cost-efficient experimentation. Recently, the diffusion model Climate in a Bottle (cBottle) has been proposed for generation of atmospheric states compatible with boundary conditions of solar position and sea surface temperatures....

Accounting for model error in ensemble variational data assimilation through learned generative dynamics

Many approaches have recently been proposed to combine data assimilation with machine learning for improved forecasts with geophysical models. Here, we focus on combining advanced sequential data assimilation schemes with a generative forecasting model which accounts for complex model errors. This generative model prov...

Statistical Downscaling of Daily Precipitation from ERA5 Atmospheric Fields to IMERG over West Africa

Global reanalyses are too coarse to resolve the convective systems that produce most West African monsoon rainfall. In this work, we use U-Net based architectures to downscale daily ERA5 fields (0.25{\deg}) to IMERG V07 satellite precipitation (0.1{\deg}) over West Africa for the June to October seasons of 2000 to 2024...

Sensitivity Fidelity Reveals Physical Dependencies Beyond Forecast Accuracy in Deep-Learning Earth-System Models

Deep-learning models increasingly rival numerical simulation in Earth-system forecasting, yet forecast error alone cannot determine whether their learned input-output dependencies are physically consistent. Here we introduce sensitivity fidelity as an additional criterion: alongside prediction error, model responses to...

A Graph Neural Network for Global Daily Fire Radiative Power Prediction at Medium-Range Lead Times

Skillful prediction of biomass-burning activity several days in advance is important for air-quality forecasting and aerosol prediction. Two operational constraints motivate this work. First, the GBBEPx satellite fire radiative power (FRP) product used to initialize NOAA's GEFS-Aerosols is available with about a 1.5-da...

Low-rank tensor structure of precipitation and its application to satellite-reference merging

The intermittent and variable nature of precipitation makes its accurate estimation over extended domains difficult, yet its spatiotemporal structure suggests that a low-rank representation may be possible. This work represents daily precipitation over the contiguous United States (CONUS) as spatiotemporal tensors and...
