Abstract Many different emission pathways exist that are compatible with the Paris climate agreement, and many more possible miss target. While some of most complex Earth System Models have simulated a small selection Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, it is impractical to use these expensive models fully explore space possibilities. Such explorations therefore mostly rely on one‐dimensional impulse response models, or simple pattern scaling approaches approximate physical given scenario. Here...
Abstract Understanding the complex dynamics of climate patterns under different anthropogenic emissions scenarios is crucial for predicting future environmental conditions and formulating sustainable policies. Using Dynamic Mode Decomposition with control (DMDc), we analyze surface air temperature from simulations to elucidate effects various climate-forcing agents. This improves upon previous DMD-based methods by including forcing information as a variable. Our study identifies both common...
Abstract Emulators, or reduced complexity climate models, are surrogate Earth system models (ESMs) that produce projections of key quantities with minimal computational resources. Using time‐series modeling more advanced machine learning techniques, data‐driven emulators have emerged as a promising avenue research, producing spatially resolved responses visually indistinguishable from state‐of‐the‐art ESMs. Yet, their lack physical interpretability limits wider adoption. In this work, we...

Refining low-resolution (LR) spatial fields with high-resolution (HR) information, often known as statistical downscaling, is challenging the diversity of datasets prevents direct matching observations. Yet, when LR samples are modeled aggregate conditional means HR respect to a mediating variable that globally observed, recovery underlying fine-grained field can be framed taking an "inverse" expectation, namely deconditioning problem. In this work, we propose Bayesian formulation which...

Mixup - a neural network regularization technique based on linear interpolation of labeled sample pairs has stood out by its capacity to improve model's robustness and generalizability through surprisingly simple formalism. However, extension the field object detection remains unclear as bounding boxes cannot be naively defined. In this paper, we propose leverage inherent region mapping structure anchors introduce mixup-driven training for proposal detectors. The proposed method is...
Abstract Aerosol-cloud interactions constitute the largest source of uncertainty in assessments anthropogenic climate change. This arises part from difficulty measuring vertical distributions aerosols, and only sporadic vertically resolved observations are available. We often have to settle for less informative aggregated proxies such as aerosol optical depth (AOD). In this work, we develop a framework disaggregation AOD into extinction profiles, that is, measure light throughout an...

Out-of-distribution (OOD) generalisation is challenging because it involves not only learning from empirical data, but also deciding among various notions of generalisation, e.g., optimising the average-case risk, worst-case or interpolations thereof. While this choice should in principle be made by model operator like medical doctors, information might always available at training time. The institutional separation between machine learners and operators leads to arbitrary commitments...
Public satellite missions are commonly bound to a trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution as no single sensor provides fine-grained acquisitions with frequent coverage. This hinders their potential assist vegetation monitoring or humanitarian actions, which require detecting rapid detailed terrestrial surface changes. In this work, we probe the of deep generative models produce high-resolution optical imagery by fusing products different characteristics. We introduce dataset...

A directed acyclic graph (DAG) provides valuable prior knowledge that is often discarded in regression tasks machine learning. We show the independences arising from presence of collider structures DAGs provide meaningful inductive biases, which constrain hypothesis space and improve predictive performance. introduce regression, a framework to incorporate probabilistic causal problem. When reproducing kernel Hilbert space, we prove strictly positive generalisation benefit under mild...
