ArchesClimate: Probabilistic Decadal Ensemble Generation With Flow Matching

arXiv:2509.15942v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Internal variability is a dominant contributor to the uncertainty of predictions at the interannual to decadal timescale. A typical approach to separating the internal variability from forced climate responses is to generate large ensembles of simulations under different initial conditions. Due to the complexity of Earth System Models, generating these large ensembles is computationally expensive. In this work, we present ArchesClimate, a deep learning-based climate model emulator designed to reduce the cost of exploring internal variab

Why this matters
Why now
