This page is part of the Climate Change AI Wiki, which aims provide resources at the intersection of climate change and machine learning.

Physical constraints are key ingredients for different components of climate models, including cloud parametrization, convection, aerosols, dynamic vegetation changes, among many other components of GCMs. Traditional solutions to representation of these processes in GCMs are computationally expensive, and sometimes need to be approximated (i.e., parametrized). ML can help with emulating some of these sub-grid processes[1], such as vegetation changes[2], and clouds parametrization and convection [3][4].
