Optimal scenario design for climate emulation

As deep learning for physical systems continues to grow in popularity, efforts to improve generalizability have primarily focused on designing architectures that embed physical constraints. However, for machine-learning surrogate climate models (emulators), we show that the low structural diversity in existing scenarios commonly used to generate training data places a ceiling on predictive skill.

Learning Hierarchical Causal Representations of the Effects of Forcings on Temperature in Climate Models

The paper presents a hierarchical causal representation learning framework that models both internal climate variability and forced responses in sea surface temperature fields from a global climate model. By training on future climate change scenarios, the method accurately predicts long‑term global mean and regional temperature evolution and reproduces realistic responses to perturbations in greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations on unseen scenarios. This demonstrates the potential of causal representation learning to improve climate model emulation.
