• Abstract summary: We discuss the problem of grouping and selecting representatives of possible climate scenarios among climate simulations provided by RTE. The data used is composed of temperature times series for 200 different possible scenarios on a grid of geographical locations in France. We first show that the choice of the distance used for the clustering has a strong impact on the meaning of the results.

• Abstract: The Reseau de Transport d'Electricit\'e (RTE) is the French main electricity network operational manager and dedicates large number of resources and efforts towards understanding climate time series data. We discuss here the problem and the methodology of grouping and selecting representatives of possible climate scenarios among a large number of climate simulations provided by RTE. The data used is composed of temperature times series for 200 different possible scenarios on a grid of geographical locations in France. These should be clustered in order to detect common patterns regarding temperatures curves and help to choose representative scenarios for network simulations, which in turn can be used for energy optimisation. We first show that the choice of the distance used for the clustering has a strong impact on the meaning of the results: depending on the type of distance used, either spatial or temporal patterns prevail. Then we discuss the difficulty of fine-tuning the distance choice (combined with a dimension reduction procedure) and we propose a methodology based on a carefully designed index.

  Downscaling, a crucial task in meteorological forecasting, enables the reconstruction of high-resolution meteorological states for target regions. Previous downscaling methods lacked tailored designs for meteorology and encountered structural limitations. We propose a novel model called MambaDS, which enhances the utilization of multivariable correlations and topography information.

  generators are useful for estimating climate impacts on various sectors. Projecting climate risk in various sectors requires generators that are accurate (statistical resemblance to ground-truth), reliable (do not produce erroneous examples), and efficient. We introduce TemperatureGAN, a Generative Adversarial Network conditioned on months, locations, and time periods, to generate 2m above ground atmospheric temperatures at an hourly resolution.

  We investigate a supervised machine learning approach based on deformable convolutional neural networks (deCNNs) We forecast the North Atlantic-European weather regimes during extended boreal winter for 1 to 15 days into the future. Due to its wider field of view, we also observe deCNN achieving considerably better performance than regular convolutional neural networks at lead times beyond 5-6 days.

  We train NN based cloud cover parameterizations with coarse-grained data based on realistic regional and global ICON simulations. Globally trained NNs can reproduce sub-grid scale cloud cover of the regional simulation. We identify an overemphasis on specific humidity and cloud ice as the reason why our column-based NN cannot perfectly generalize from the global to the regional coarse-grained data.

GANs are trained to producetemporal samples: 32 days of precipitation over a 64x128 regular grid discretizing the globe. Our trained GANs can rapidly generate numerous realizations at a vastly reduced computational expense.

  Earth system models (ESMs) are often used to generate future projections of climate change scenarios. As a compromise, emulators are substantially less expensive but may not have all of the complexity of an ESM. Here we demonstrate the use of a conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) to act as an ESM emulator.
