Silva","doi":"arxiv-2408.16109","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2408.16109","url":null,"abstract":"Computational models of atmospheric composition are not always physically\u0000consistent. For example, not all models respect fundamental conservation laws\u0000such as conservation of atoms in an interconnected chemical system. In well\u0000performing models, these nonphysical deviations are often ignored because they\u0000are frequently minor, and thus only need a small nudge to perfectly conserve\u0000mass. Here we introduce a method that anchors a prediction from any numerical\u0000model to physically consistent hard constraints, nudging concentrations to the\u0000nearest solution that respects the conservation laws. This closed-form\u0000model-agnostic correction uses a single matrix operation to minimally perturb\u0000the predicted concentrations to ensure that atoms are conserved to machine\u0000precision. To demonstrate this approach, we train a gradient boosting decision\u0000tree ensemble to emulate a small reference model of ozone photochemistry and\u0000test the effect of the correction on accurate but non-conservative predictions.\u0000The nudging approach minimally perturbs the already well-predicted results for\u0000most species, but decreases the accuracy of important oxidants, including\u0000radicals. We develop a weighted extension of this nudging approach that\u0000considers the uncertainty and magnitude of each species in the correction. This\u0000species-level weighting approach is essential to accurately predict important\u0000low concentration species such as radicals. We find that applying the\u0000uncertainty-weighted correction to the nonphysical predictions slightly\u0000improves overall accuracy, by nudging the predictions to a more likely\u0000mass-conserving solution.","PeriodicalId":501166,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With offshore wind turbine lifetimes of 25-30 years,\u0000and new offshore leases spanning 60 years, it is vital to consider long-term\u0000changes in potential wind power resource at the farm planning stage. Such\u0000changes may arise from multiple sources, including climate change, and\u0000increasing wake-induced power losses. In this work, we investigate and compare\u0000these two sources of long-term change in wind power, for a case study\u0000consisting of 21 wind farms within the German Bight. Consistent with previous\u0000studies, we find a small but significant reduction in wind resource due to\u0000climate change by the end of the 21st century under the high-emission RCP8.5\u0000scenario, compared with a historical period, with a mean power reduction (over\u0000an ensemble of seven climate models) of 2.1%. To assess the impact of\u0000wake-induced losses due to increasingly dense farm build-out, we model wakes\u0000within the German Bight region using an engineering wake model, under various\u0000stages of (planned) build-out corresponding to the years 2010-2027. By\u0000identifying clusters of wind farms, we decompose wake effects into long-range\u0000(inter-cluster), medium-range (intra-cluster) and short-range (intra-farm)\u0000effects. Inter-cluster wake-induced losses increase from 0 for the 2010\u0000scenario to 2.5% for the 2027 scenario, with intra-cluster losses also\u0000increasing from 0 to 4.3%. Intra-farm losses are relatively constant, at around\u000013%. While the evolution of wake effects therefore outweighs the climate\u0000effect, and impacts over a shorter timescale, both factors are significant. We\u0000also find evidence of non-linear interactions between the climate and wake\u0000effects. Both climate change and evolving wake effects must therefore be\u0000considered within resource assessment and wind farm planning.","PeriodicalId":501166,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This initial warming drives a myriad of changes including in sea\u0000surface temperatures (SSTs), leading to different radiative feedbacks. The\u0000relationship between the radiative feedbacks and the pattern of SST changes is\u0000referred to as the \"pattern effect\". The current approach to study the pattern\u0000effect relies on diagnosing the response of atmosphere-only models to\u0000perturbations in the SST boundary condition. Here, we argue that the\u0000fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR), together with coarse-graining\u0000procedures, is a computationally cheap and theoretically grounded alternative\u0000to model experiments. We introduce a protocol to study the pattern effect and\u0000present its application in a state-of-the-art coupled climate model. By\u0000focusing on the coupled dynamics, we unveil the role of the slow ocean\u0000component in setting the pattern effect. We present a new \"sensitivity map\",\u0000representing a first, qualitative prediction of the response of the average\u0000top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) radiative flux to perturbations in the SST field.\u0000We find negative sensitivity throughout the tropics, in contrast to the current\u0000understanding of a positive-negative dipole of sensitivity in the tropical\u0000Pacific. Considering only the shortest time scales, the response is dominated\u0000by the fast atmospheric variability and we recover results in qualitative\u0000agreement with the literature. Therefore, the difference between our results\u0000and previous studies, largely comes from including the atmosphere-ocean\u0000coupling. The framework offers a conceptually novel perspective on the pattern\u0000effect: feedbacks in the coupled system are encoded in a temporally and\u0000spatially dependent response operator, rather than time-independent maps as for\u0000previous studies.","PeriodicalId":501166,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have developed RIS-Vis, a novel data visualization\u0000platform to monitor Antarctic ice shelves.
