Efficient Generative AI Boosts Probabilistic Forecasting of Sudden Stratospheric Warmings

  • 基于流匹配的生成模型,快速模拟冬季平流层环流演变。
  • 对18次重大增温事件预测准确,15天内预报性能媲美甚至超越主流气象系统。
  • 揭示不同增温事件的可预报性机制,适合气候预测与灾害预警研究者。

突然平流层增温(SSWs)是次季节预测的关键来源,也是冬季极端天气的主要驱动因素。由于计算瓶颈和物理表征限制,数值天气预报(NWP)系统在实现准确高效的概率预报方面仍面临持续挑战。尽管数据驱动方法快速发展,但其在复杂三维平流层动力学中的应用仍不充分。本文提出一种基于流匹配的生成式AI模型(FM-Cast),用于高效且高精度地预测冬季平流层环流的时空演化。在1998至2024年间18次主要SSW事件上评估,FM-Cast成功提前15天预测极地涡旋的起始、强度及三维形态。值得注意的是,该模型在仅用两分钟(消费级GPU)生成50成员30天集合预报的情况下,其长期概率预报性能达到或超过主流操作型系统(ECMWF和CMA)。此外,通过理想化的“完美对流层”实验,揭示了两类可预报性机制:连续波强迫驱动的事件与初始触发加平流层动力记忆主导的事件。本工作建立了一种计算高效的概率平流层预报范式,同时深化了对大气-气候动力学的理解。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (SSWs) are key sources of subseasonal predictability and major drivers of extreme weather in winter. Accurate and efficient probabilistic forecasting of these events remains a persistent challenge for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) systems due to computational bottlenecks and limitations in physical representation. While data-driven forecasting is rapidly evolving, its application to the complex, three-dimensional dynamics of SSWs remains underexplored. Here, we bridge this gap by developing a Flow Matching-based generative AI model (FM-Cast) for efficient and skillful probabilistic forecasting of the spatiotemporal evolution of stratospheric circulation in winter. Evaluated across 18 major SSW events (1998-2024), FM-Cast successfully forecasts the onset, intensity, and 3D morphology of the polar vortex up to 15 days in advance for most cases. Notably, it achieves long-range probabilistic forecast skill comparable to or exceeding leading operational NWP systems (ECMWF and CMA) while generating a 30-day forecast with 50-member ensemble, in just two minutes on a consumer GPU. Furthermore, using idealized "perfect troposphere" experiments, we uncover distinct predictability regimes: events driven by continuous wave forcing versus those governed by an initial trigger and subsequent stratospheric dynamical memory. This work establishes a computationally efficient paradigm for probabilistic stratospheric forecasting that simultaneously deepens our physical understanding of atmosphere-climate dynamics.
