• Abstract summary: We show that a post-processing method based on physically constrained generative adversarial networks (cGANs) can correct biases of a state-of-the-art, CMIP6-class ESM. While our method improves local frequency distributions equally well as gold-standard bias-adjustment frameworks, it strongly outperforms any existing methods in the correction of spatial patterns.

• Abstract: The accurate representation of precipitation in Earth system models (ESMs) is crucial for reliable projections of the ecological and socioeconomic impacts in response to anthropogenic global warming. The complex cross-scale interactions of processes that produce precipitation are challenging to model, however, inducing potentially strong biases in ESM fields, especially regarding extremes. State-of-the-art bias correction methods only address errors in the simulated frequency distributions locally at every individual grid cell. Improving unrealistic spatial patterns of the ESM output, which would require spatial context, has not been possible so far. Here, we show that a post-processing method based on physically constrained generative adversarial networks (cGANs) can correct biases of a state-of-the-art, CMIP6-class ESM both in local frequency distributions and in the spatial patterns at once. While our method improves local frequency distributions equally well as gold-standard bias-adjustment frameworks, it strongly outperforms any existing methods in the correction of spatial patterns, especially in terms of the characteristic spatial intermittency of precipitation extremes.

  We propose a novel approach combining dynamical downscaling with generative artificial intelligence to reduce the cost and improve the uncertainty estimates of downscaled climate projections. In our framework, an RCM dynamically downscales ESM output to an intermediate resolution, followed by a generative diffusion model that further refines the resolution to the target scale.

  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.

  Diffusion models tend to reconstruct normal counterparts of test images with certain noises added. From the global perspective, the difficulty of reconstructing images with different anomalies is uneven. We propose a global and local adaptive diffusion model (abbreviated to GLAD) for unsupervised anomaly detection.

  We propose a propagation value method inspired by Markov reward processes (MRPs) as a spatial method. We show that the average performance of SD-MRP on real-world data under all experimental conditions was ranked significantly higher than that of all other methods. We further found that, even in cases where our methods had no significant advantage over baselines numerically, our methods preserved the structure of the target grid better than the baselines.

  Earth system models (ESMs) are often used to generate future projections of climate change scenarios.

Here we demonstrate the use of a conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) to act as an ESM emulator.
