  • 适合气候风险评估与极端事件归因研究者使用。

机器学习气候模型模拟器可高效支持情景规划与适应策略设计。最近提出的扩散模型Climate in a Bottle(cBottle)能生成与太阳位置和海表温度边界条件一致的大气状态,并可通过引导生成热带气旋(TCs)等极端事件。本文展示利用该模型对大气状态的概率密度估计进行极端事件概率分析的用例。关键在于:在引导生成包含热带气旋的状态后,比较引导前后概率密度,可量化引导使事件发生的可能性提升程度。通过计算似然比,实现重要性采样,相比简单蒙特卡洛采样,概率估计的标准误差显著降低。同时讨论了将模型概率密度应用于类似极端事件归因实验的成效与局限。这些初步但令人鼓舞的结果,旨在推动对扩散模型中潜在概率信息的进一步研究。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

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. Crucially, cBottle can be guided to generate extreme events such as Tropical Cyclones (TCs) over locations of interest. Diffusion models such as cBottle work by approximating the probability density of the training data. Here, we show use cases of the probability density estimates of atmospheric states obtained from this climate emulator. Most importantly, these estimates allow us to calculate likelihoods of extreme events under guidance. When guiding the model towards states including TCs, comparing the probability density under the guided and unguided model enables us to quantify how much more likely the guidance has made the TC. We show how these odds ratios allow us to importance-sample from the TC distribution, reducing the standard error of the probability estimate compared to simple Monte Carlo sampling. Furthermore, we discuss results and limitations of the application of model probability densities to extreme event attribution-like experiments. We present these early but encouraging results hoping they will spur more research into probabilistic information that can be gained from diffusion models of the atmosphere.
