Explore a deep learning parameterization of gravity wave drag coupled to an atmospheric global climate model in this conference talk from the Machine Learning for Climate KITP conference. Delve into the challenges of predicting future climate changes at regional and local scales due to complex multi-scale processes. Discover how big data and machine learning algorithms offer new opportunities to gain detailed insights into climate systems. Learn about the WaveNet model architecture and its application in predicting the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO). Examine the model's performance, including its stability over 100-year simulations and ability to generalize under increased CO2 scenarios. Investigate future directions, including Project Loon's potential for unprecedented coverage in gravity wave observation and analysis.
