Replacing Tunable Parameters in Weather and Climate Models with State-Dependent Functions using Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2601.04268v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Weather and climate models rely on parametrisations to represent unresolved sub-grid processes. Traditional schemes rely on fixed coefficients that are weakly constrained and tuned offline, contributing to persistent biases that limit their ability to adapt to underlying physics. This study presents a framework that learns components of parametrisation schemes online as a function of the evolving model state using reinforcement learning (RL) an
