From Global Models to Local Seas: Statistical and Machine Learning Approaches to Ocean Downscaling

Session ID#: 253589

Session Description:
Global Climate Models (GCMs) have too coarse spatial resolution to provide the localized climate information needed for resource management. While dynamical downscaling improves spatial resolution by explicitly solving the physical and biogeochemical equations, it is computationally expensive and requires substantial resources. Statistical downscaling complements dynamical downscaling by offering computationally efficient methods for refining GCM outputs, enabling high-resolution projections which are essential for informed decision-making in diverse ocean regions. Statistical downscaling can be applied to historical reconstructions, seasonal forecasts, and probabilistic projections of future climate. Methods span traditional statistical methods to cutting-edge machine learning tools. Sharing examples across regions will advance the science of statistical downscaling in the ocean because the appropriate method is determined by the specifics of the problem and data availability. This session invites contributions that apply and explore statistical downscaling methods in all areas of ocean science.
