Title
Modeling Hierarchies and Data-Driven Methods in Coupled Climate Dynamics: Understanding Regional Sensitivity, Global Teleconnections, and their Interplay
Abstract
Changes in large-scale dynamics impact regional-scale projections, while forcings at the regional scale can impact large-scale dynamics. I will describe some of my group's current work showing how modelling hierarchies can be used to attribute the significant impacts of large-scale ocean dynamics changes on both climate and precipitation sensitivity to warming. I will also demonstrate how data-driven methods, particularly AI and machine learning, can be used to model both local impacts and large-scale teleconnections associated with regional forcing perturbations, a framework that may be useful for climate intervention studies.
