🚀 First GA for #AI4PEX in Lund!
Last month partners from across Europe met to advance #EarthSystemModels with #AI, #ML & #EarthObservation - tackling ✨ Benchmarking 🛠 Syncing milestones 🌍 Boosting outreach 🤝 Hands-on collaboration.

Big thanks to Lund University for hosting!

Fourth and last day of our #AI4PEX GA is again reserved for workshops. Moderated by Fangfei Lan from UNIL we spend the morning focusing on Neural Operator Learning. In the afternoon, we build our own hybrid model using the SINDBAD modeling framework, led by Nuno Carvalhais from MPG-BGC.

#CINEA

AI4PEX GA Day 3 we are mainly focusing on the technical and methodological aspects: How to improve our benchmarking? And what can explainable AI do to improve our parametrizations? Highlight was the keynote by Dave Lawrence from UCAR on how #ArtificialIntelligence is entering the #ESMs development.

#AI4PEX GA Day 2: starting with in-depth scientific talks and posters on our main achievements so far, before discussing in more detail next steps for the atmosphere, ocean and land teams.
In the evening we went to Kulturen Open Air Museum, immersing in the history of the region.

#CINEA #HorizonEU

Today, we started with a workshop on Doing Interdisciplinarity to set the stage for an effective communication across disciplinary boundaries, moderated by Catrin Finkenauer from @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social.

Today we're kicking off the 1st #AI4PEX General Assembly in Lund, Sweden, hosted by @lund-university.bsky.social. Within the next 4 days we will talk about achievements, discuss methods and plan research of next year, while getting closer, building trust and turning our team into a project family.

💡 New Paper!
Clouds are crucial for climate modeling, affecting sunshine, heat, and rainfall. Traditional models use coarse grids, but new methods involve high-detail simulations and #MachineLearning to predict cloud cover and cloud content to improve #HybridModels.

#AI4PEX & #EXPECT joining forces
Fantastic momentum at #EGU25! Teams from two #HorizonEU projects came together to explore synergies and plan future collaboration.

Next steps? We're aiming for a joint hackathon and an ECR meeting to build stronger connections.

AI4PEX @ #EGU: the past 2 days we heard a lot about Machine Learning applications and Climate Extremes by Ramon Fuentes Franco, Tom Beucler, Helena Reid, Svenja Seeber and Kai Cohrs.

AI4PEX @ #EGU25
We started the week in Vienna with talks on heatwaves, wildfires and extreme evaporation by Dominik Schumacher, Lars Nieradzki & Yannis Markonis. On Day 2 we dived deeper into ocean modeling with Hongmei Li and model evaluation using the ESMValTool by Valeriu Predoi.

💡 New Paper!
#MachineLearning improves #EarthSystemModels, but explaining its added value is tough. Inspired by climate model hierarchies, we propose using Pareto-optimal models to distill ML's added value in representing cloud cover, radiative transfer and tropical precipitation.

🌍🌪️ How is climate change fueling extreme weather?

Our concept paper dives into Extreme Event Attribution (EEA) — the key to linking weather events to climate change. While new methods are making it easier to track the impact of climate change, important challenges still remain.
