Enhancing Precipitation Predictions with the Cloud-Associated Parameterizations Testbed using Artificial Intelligence

Hsi-Yen Ma | 22-ERD-013

Executive Summary

We will develop a new modeling framework utilizing an existing Cloud-Associated Parameterizations Testbed framework augmented with advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to improve precipitation prediction across scales for the Department of Energy's Energy Exascale Earth System Model. This work will inform development of advanced solutions to ensure that the nation's energy infrastructure is resilient to extreme weather events and hydrological changes.
