TianJi-Environ: An Autonomous AI Scientist for Atmospheric Environmental Research
- 构建基于WRF-Chem的多智能体系统,自动将假设转为可执行模拟
- 在华北平原和关中盆地案例中发现证据不足或机制链断裂问题
- 适合气候建模、环境政策制定者及需要可复现研究的科研人员
随着大气环境预测能力提升,污染机制与反馈过程的可解释性验证成为大气化学领域的主要挑战。现有基于复杂数值模型的机制验证仍高度依赖专家知识:机制假说需转化为可执行实验,模型输出须组织为可追踪证据。本文提出TianJi-Environ,首个基于WRF-Chem的可审计人工智能科学家,用于大气化学机制验证。该系统建立多智能体框架,自主驱动复杂大气化学模拟,将机制假说转化为可执行配置、实验设计与证据标准。以臭氧响应和细颗粒物反馈为例,展示了其验证能力。在华北平原夏季臭氧案例中,系统检测到短波辐射与边界层高度方向一致的气溶胶-辐射-相互作用信号,但判断氮氧化物控制对臭氧影响的证据不充分;在关中盆地冬季PM2.5案例中,定位出黑碳扰动到颗粒物响应传播不足,以及垂直吸热加热诊断缺失的问题。结果表明,TianJi-Environ使专家主导的机制验证过程显式化、结构化与可审计,为复杂大气化学模型耦合多智能体系统提供了可复现的研究范式。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As atmospheric environmental prediction continues to improve, interpretable validation of pollution mechanisms and feedback processes has become a main challenge in atmospheric chemistry. Yet mechanism validation based on complex numerical models still relies heavily on expert knowledge: mechanistic hypotheses must be operationalized into executable experiments, and model outputs must be organized into traceable evidence. We present TianJi-Environ, an auditable AI Scientist for atmospheric-chemistry mechanism validation. TianJi-Environ establishes the first WRF-Chem-based multi-agent framework that autonomously drives complex atmospheric-chemistry simulations, converting mechanistic hypotheses into executable configurations, testing experiments, and evidence criteria. Using ozone response and particulate-matter feedback as two representative examples, we demonstrate TianJi-Environ's capability for mechanism validation. In a summertime ozone case over the North China Plain, the system detects directionally consistent aerosol-radiation-interaction signals in shortwave radiation and boundary-layer height, but judges the evidence for ozone response to NOx control to be incomplete. In a wintertime PM2.5 case over the Guanzhong Basin, it localizes the unsupported link to insufficient propagation from black-carbon perturbation to particulate response and missing diagnostics of vertical absorptive heating. These results show that TianJi-Environ makes expert-driven mechanism validation explicit, structured, and auditable, offering a reproducible paradigm for multi-agent systems coupled with complex atmospheric-chemistry models.
