Assessing Emulator Design and Training for Modal Aerosol Microphysics Parameterizations in E3SMv2

  • 采用简单前馈神经网络,系统测试架构复杂度与变量归一化对模拟的影响。
  • 合理缩放与收敛训练下,中等规模网络可精准复现气溶胶浓度变化特征。
  • 研究成果为气候模型中的科学机器学习应用提供可推广的设计指南。

为利用科学机器学习(SciML)代理模型改进全球大气模型中气溶胶过程的数值表示,本文在无云条件下研究了能源百亿亿次地球系统模型2.0版(E3SMv2)中的四模式气溶胶模块(MAM4)的气溶胶微物理过程模拟。基于先前研究中使用的简单前馈神经网络架构,系统考察了网络复杂度、变量归一化等关键设计选择,并密切监控训练收敛行为。结果表明,优化收敛性、缩放策略及网络复杂度对模拟精度有显著影响。当采用有效缩放并实现收敛时,相对简单的架构结合中等规模网络即可以高精度重现微物理引起的气溶胶浓度变化。这些发现为后续代理模型开发提供了实用线索,并对其他涉及多尺度变化的大气物理过程的模拟具有普遍参考价值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Toward the goal of using Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) emulators to improve the numerical representation of aerosol processes in global atmospheric models, we explore the emulation of aerosol microphysics processes under cloud-free conditions in the 4-mode Modal Aerosol Module (MAM4) within the Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 2 (E3SMv2). To develop an in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities in applying SciML to aerosol processes, we begin with a simple feedforward neural network architecture that has been used in earlier studies, but we systematically examine key emulator design choices, including architecture complexity and variable normalization, while closely monitoring training convergence behavior. Our results show that optimization convergence, scaling strategy, and network complexity strongly influence emulation accuracy. When effective scaling is applied and convergence is achieved, the relatively simple architecture, used together with a moderate network size, can reproduce key features of the microphysics-induced aerosol concentration changes with promising accuracy. These findings provide practical clues for the next stages of emulator development; they also provide general insights that are likely applicable to the emulation of other aerosol processes, as well as other atmospheric physics involving multi-scale variability.
