• Abstract: The recent proof of quasi-Gaussianity for the 2D stochastic Navier--Stokes (SNS) equations by Coe, Hairer, and Tolomeo establishes that the system's unique invariant measure is equivalent (mutually absolutely continuous) to the Gaussian measure of its corresponding linear Ornstein--Uhlenbeck (OU) process. While Gaussian process (GP) frameworks are increasingly used for fluid dynamics, their priors are often chosen for convenience rather than being rigorously justified by the system's long-term dynamics. In this work, we bridge this gap by introducing a probabilistic framework for 2D SNS built directly upon this theoretical foundation. We construct our GP prior precisely from the stationary covariance of the linear OU model, which is explicitly defined by the forcing spectrum and dissipation. This provides a principled, GP prior with rigorous long-time dynamical justification for turbulent flows, bridging SPDE theory and practical data assimilation.

  Our study uses a Fokker-Planck approach, adapted from statistical physics, to explore these parallels.

  Non- sampling is a key challenge in machine learning, central to non-rate optimization in deep learning as well as to approximate its significance. Existing guarantees typically only hold for the averaged distances rather than the more desirable last-rate iterates. We develop a new framework that lifts the above issues by harnessing several tools from the theory systems.
