Harnessing AI data-driven global weather models for climate attribution: An analysis of the 2017 Oroville Dam extreme atmospheric river

  • 采用图神经网络等AI模型模拟气候变化下的大气河流事件。
  • 发现现今日照下水汽输送比工业革命前高5-6%,与物理模型一致。
  • 可生成超500次模拟,支持实时气候归因,适合应急响应场景。

本文评估了四种基于数据的AI天气模型(Graphcast、Pangu Weather、FourCastNet 和 SFNO)在基于故事情节的气候归因中的应用潜力。研究聚焦于2017年2月导致加州奥罗维尔大坝溢洪道受损的极端大气河流事件。通过扰动初始条件引入前工业化时期和21世纪末温度变化信号,分别生成历史与未来情景的模拟。结果表明,这些AI模型预测现今日照下奥罗维尔地区集成水汽量较前工业化时期增加5%-6%,与动力模型结果一致。各模型展现出不同的位势高度-湿度-温度依赖关系,揭示其物理合理性差异。但整体上,AI模型的归因值弱于动力模型所构建的伪现实,表明其在21世纪末气候态下的外推能力有限。使用AI模型生成的大规模集合(>500成员)成功获得显著的现世与前工业时代归因结果,优于动力模型(>20成员)。该研究凸显了AI模型在加速气候归因方面的潜力,同时强调需发展可解释人工智能以增强其可信度,从而实现实时可靠归因。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

AI data-driven models (Graphcast, Pangu Weather, Fourcastnet, and SFNO) are explored for storyline-based climate attribution due to their short inference times, which can accelerate the number of events studied, and provide real time attributions when public attention is heightened. The analysis is framed on the extreme atmospheric river episode of February 2017 that contributed to the Oroville dam spillway incident in Northern California. Past and future simulations are generated by perturbing the initial conditions with the pre-industrial and the late-21st century temperature climate change signals, respectively. The simulations are compared to results from a dynamical model which represents plausible pseudo-realities under both climate environments. Overall, the AI models show promising results, projecting a 5-6 % increase in the integrated water vapor over the Oroville dam in the present day compared to the pre-industrial, in agreement with the dynamical model. Different geopotential-moisture-temperature dependencies are unveiled for each of the AI-models tested, providing valuable information for understanding the physicality of the attribution response. However, the AI models tend to simulate weaker attribution values than the pseudo-reality imagined by the dynamical model, suggesting some reduced extrapolation skill, especially for the late-21st century regime. Large ensembles generated with an AI model (>500 members) produced statistically significant present-day to pre-industrial attribution results, unlike the >20-member ensemble from the dynamical model. This analysis highlights the potential of AI models to conduct attribution analysis, while emphasizing future lines of work on explainable artificial intelligence to gain confidence in these tools, which can enable reliable attribution studies in real-time.
