A nonlinear dynamical perspective on model error: A proposal for non‐local stochastic‐dynamic parametrization in weather and climate prediction models
Abstract
Conventional parametrization schemes in weather and climate prediction models describe the effects of subgrid‐scale processes by deterministic bulk formulae which depend on local resolved‐scale variables and a number of adjustable parameters. Despite the unquestionable success of such models for weather and climate prediction, it is impossible to justify the use of such formulae from first principles. Using low‐order dynamical‐systems models, and elementary results from dynamical‐systems and turbulence theory, it is shown that even if unresolved scales only describe a small fraction of the total variance of the system, neglecting their variability can, in some circumstances, lead to gross errors in the climatology of the dominant scales. It is suggested that some of the remaining errors in weather and climate prediction models may have their origin in the neglect of subgrid‐scale variability, and that such variability should be parametrized by non‐local dynamically based stochastic parametrization schemes. Results from existing schemes are described, and mechanisms which might account for the impact of random parametrization error on planetary‐scale motions are discussed. Proposals for the development of non‐local stochastic‐dynamic parametrization schemes are outlined, based on potential‐vorticity diagnosis, singular‐vector analysis and a simple stochastic cellular automaton model.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
