We use data from a realistic high-resolution coupled climate model to train a neu-6 ral network (NN) and perform offline tests 7 • We learn a stochastic parameterization of subgrid momentum forcing with the NN 8 that generalizes well to different regimes and climates 9 • The stochastic parameterization results in a stable implementation in an ideal-10 ized ocean model that improves the kinetic energy of the flow 11
The Whittle likelihood is a widely used and computationally efficient pseudo-likelihood. However, it is known to produce biased parameter estimates for large classes of models. We propose a method for de-biasing Whittle estimates for second-order stationary stochastic processes. The de-biased Whittle likelihood can be computed in the same O(n log n) operations as the standard approach. We demonstrate the superior performance of the method in simulation studies and in application to a large-scale oceanographic dataset, where in both cases the de-biased approach reduces bias by up to two orders of magnitude, achieving estimates that are close to exact maximum likelihood, at a fraction of the computational cost. We prove that the method yields estimates that are consistent at an optimal convergence rate of n −1/2 , under weaker assumptions than standard theory, where we do not require that the power spectral density is continuous in frequency. We describe how the method can be easily combined with standard methods of bias reduction, such as tapering and differencing, to further reduce bias in parameter estimates.
We describe a new way to apply a spatial filter to gridded data from models or observations, focusing on low‐pass filters. The new method is analogous to smoothing via diffusion, and its implementation requires only a discrete Laplacian operator appropriate to the data. The new method can approximate arbitrary filter shapes, including Gaussian filters, and can be extended to spatially varying and anisotropic filters. The new diffusion‐based smoother's properties are illustrated with examples from ocean model data and ocean observational products. An open‐source Python package implementing this algorithm, called gcm‐filters, is currently under development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
