• Authors: Kai Jeggle, Mikolaj Czerkawski, Federico Serva, Bertrand Le Saux, David Neubauer, and Ulrike Lohmann
• Abstract summary: Ice particles play a crucial role in the climate system. Yet they remain a source of great uncertainty in climate models and future climate projections. In this work, we create a new observational constraint of regime-dependent ice-physical properties at geostationary satellite instruments and the quality of active satellite retrievals.

• Abstract: Clouds containing ice particles play a crucial role in the climate system. Yet they remain a source of great uncertainty in climate models and future climate projections. In this work, we create a new observational constraint of regime-dependent ice microphysical properties at the spatio-temporal coverage of geostationary satellite instruments and the quality of active satellite retrievals. We achieve this by training a convolutional neural network on three years of SEVIRI and DARDAR data sets. This work will enable novel research to improve ice cloud process understanding and hence, reduce uncertainties in a changing climate and help assess geoengineering methods for cirrus clouds.

  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.

  We model the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which is of major importance to climate in Europe and the US East Coast. We can generate arbitrarily extreme climate scenarios through arbitrary time scales which we then predict using neural networks. With quantified uncertainty, an intriguing pattern of "spikes" before critical points of collapse in the AMOC casts doubt on previous analyses that predicted an AMOC collapse within this century.

  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.
