Most global climate models with convective parameterization have trouble in simulating the observed diurnal cycle of convection. Maximum precipitation usually happens too early during summertime, especially over land. Observational analyses indicate that deep convection over land cannot keep pace with rapid variations in convective available potential energy, which is largely controlled by boundary-layer forcing. In this study, a new convective closure in which shallow and deep convection interact strongly, out of equilibrium, is implemented in atmosphere-only and ocean-atmosphere coupled models. The diurnal cycles of convection in both simulations are significantly improved with small changes to their mean states. The new closure shifts maximum precipitation over land later by about three hours. Compared to satellite observations, the diurnal phase biases are reduced by half. Shallow convection to some extent equilibrates rapid changes in the boundary layer at subdiurnal time scales. Relaxed quasi-equilibrium for convective available potential energy holds in significant measure as a result. Future model improvement will focus on the remaining biases in the diurnal cycle, which may be further reduced by including stochastic entrainment and cold pools.

大多数采用对流参数化的全球气候模式在模拟观测到的对流日周期方面都存在问题。最大降水量通常在夏季过早出现,尤其是在陆地上。观测分析表明,陆地上的深层对流跟不上对流可用势能的快速变化,而对流可用势能主要受边界层强迫的控制。在这项研究中,在纯大气和海洋-大气耦合模式中实施了一种新的对流闭合,在这种闭合中,浅层对流和深层对流在失去平衡的情况下发生强烈的相互作用。这两种模拟中对流的昼夜循环在其平均状态的微小变化下都得到了显著改善。新的闭合模式将陆地上的最大降水量推迟了约三个小时。与卫星观测结果相比,日相偏差减少了一半。浅对流在一定程度上平衡了边界层在亚昼夜时间尺度上的快速变化。因此,对流可用势能的松弛准平衡在很大程度上是成立的。未来的模式改进将集中在昼夜循环中剩余的偏差上,通过加入随机夹带和冷池,这些偏差可能会进一步减小。

On ensemble-based coupled data assimilation, cross-component parameter estimation (CPE), has not been as extensively developed and applied as weakly coupled state and parameter estimation along with cross-component state estimation. This discrepancy is partially attributed to the lack of emphasis on the instantaneous response of coupled model states with respect to parameters across different components. We define so-called response as the instantaneous parameter sensitivity (IPS). Under the framework of sequential assimilation, the prior information heavily relies on the IPS of coupled states with different time scales. Based on the IPS analysis for an intermediate coupled model, a series of twin experiments of state and parameter estimation are conducted, in which an IPS-inspired adaptive inflation scheme for parameter ensemble is introduced. Results show that the success of a parameter estimation strategy is closely tied to the significant IPS of the observed state to the parameter targeted for optimization, as it maintains a high signal-to-noise ratio in the error covariance between parameter and prior state, thereby enhancing parameter estimation. An interesting finding in the context of IPS-based CPE is: an atmospheric parameter can be successfully estimated by assimilating observations from slow-varying oceanic component, but not vice versa. In comparison with cross-component state estimation, successful CPE significantly enhances the estimation accuracy of coupled states by mitigating model bias.

在基于集合的耦合数据同化方面,跨分量参数估计(CPE)并没有像弱耦合状态和参数估计以及跨分量状态估计那样得到广泛的发展和应用。造成这种差异的部分原因是没有重视耦合模式状态对不同成分参数的瞬时响应。我们将所谓的响应定义为瞬时参数灵敏度(IPS)。在序列同化框架下,先验信息主要依赖于不同时间尺度耦合状态的 IPS。在对中间耦合模型进行 IPS 分析的基础上,进行了一系列状态和参数估计的孪生实验,其中引入了一种受 IPS 启发的参数集合自适应膨胀方案。结果表明,参数估计策略的成功与观测状态与优化目标参数的显著 IPS 密切相关,因为它能保持参数与先验状态之间误差协方差的高信噪比,从而增强参数估计。基于 IPS 的 CPE 的一个有趣发现是:通过同化变化缓慢的海洋分量的观测数据,可以成功地估算出大气参数,但反之亦然。与跨分量状态估计相比,成功的 CPE 可通过减轻模型偏差来显著提高耦合状态的估计精度。

The computational balance between the model grid resolution and the complexity of the data assimilation technique is essential for accurate aerosol forecasting and obtaining aerosol reanalysis data sets. This study aimed to develop a high-resolution aerosol assimilation system. A 2-dimensional variational method (2DVar) was implemented in a non-hydrostatic icosahedral atmospheric model (NICAM). This new model (NICAM/2DVar), with a global grid size of 56 km, assimilated the observed aerosol optical depth (AOD) that is estimated by combining multiple products of geostationary and polar-orbital satellites. The model results were evaluated against ground-based AOD observations on a global scale. They exhibited higher correlations, lower uncertainties, and lower biases than those obtained without the 2DVar. The model also reproduced the observed surface aerosols (PM2.5) mass concentrations, especially in Kyushu, Japan. This occurred because the satellite-estimated AODs over ocean close to air pollution sources were obtained for many occasions. The correlation coefficient values against the PM2.5 observations increased from 0.44 to 0.65 compared to the results without the 2DVar. The impact of the 2DVar on the forecast results was investigated, and the forecast values for 2–3 days were improved. Because satellite-retrieved AODs are often lacking over land owing to retrieval difficulties, the use of ground-based AODs in assimilations is essential for precise processing the of aerosol reanalysis data sets. The computational cost with the use of the 2DVar was only 0.6% more than that without its use. Thus, aerosol assimilation using the NICAM/2DVar can be realistically extended to finer grid sizes.

模式网格分辨率与数据同化技术复杂性之间的计算平衡对于准确预报气溶胶和获取气溶胶再分析数据集至关重要。本研究旨在开发高分辨率气溶胶同化系统。在非静水二十面体大气模式(NICAM)中实施了二维变分法(2DVar)。这一新模型(NICAM/2DVar)的全球网格尺寸为 56 公里,同化了观测到的气溶胶光学深度(AOD),该深度是结合地球静止卫星和极轨道卫星的多种产品估算得出的。根据全球范围内的地基 AOD 观测结果对模型结果进行了评估。与未使用二维变量的结果相比,这些结果显示出更高的相关性、更低的不确定性和更小的偏差。该模型还再现了观测到的地表气溶胶(PM2.5)质量浓度,尤其是在日本九州。出现这种情况的原因是,在靠近空气污染源的海域上空多次获得了卫星估算的 AOD 值。与没有使用二维变量的结果相比,与 PM2.5 观测值的相关系数从 0.44 增加到 0.65。研究了 2DVar 对预报结果的影响,2-3 天的预报值有所改善。由于卫星检索困难,陆地上空往往缺乏卫星检索的 AOD,因此在同化过程中使用地面 AOD 对气溶胶再分析数据集的精确处理至关重要。使用 2DVar 的计算成本仅比不使用 2DVar 的计算成本高 0.6%。因此,使用 NICAM/2DVar 进行气溶胶同化可以实际扩展到更细的网格尺寸。

Different turbulent entrainment-mixing mechanisms between clouds and environment are essential to cloud-related processes; however, accurate representation of entrainment-mixing in weather/climate models still poses a challenge. This study exploits the use of machine learning (ML) to address this challenge. Four ML (Light Gradient Boosting Machine [LGB], eXtreme Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, and Support Vector Regression) are examined and compared. It is found that LGB performs best, and thus is selected to understand the impact of entrainment-mixing on microphysics using simulation data from Explicit Mixing Parcel Model. Compared with traditional parameterizations, the trained LGB provides more accurate microphysical properties (number concentration and cloud droplet spectral dispersion). The partial dependences of predicted microphysics on features exhibit a strong alignment with physical mechanisms and expectations, as determined by the interpreting method, thus overcoming the limitations of the “black box” scheme. The underlying mechanisms are that the smaller number concentration and larger spectral dispersion correspond to more inhomogeneous entrainment-mixing. Specifically, number concentration after entrainment-mixing is positively correlated with adiabatic number concentration and liquid water content affected by entrainment-mixing, and inversely correlated with adiabatic volume mean radius. Spectral dispersion after entrainment-mixing is negatively correlated with liquid water content affected by entrainment-mixing, turbulent dissipation rate and relative humidity of entrained air. Sensitivity analysis further suggests that number concentration is mainly determined by cloud microphysical properties whereas spectral dispersion is influenced by both cloud microphysical properties and environmental variables. The results indicate that the LGB scheme has the potential to enhance the representation of entrainment-mixing in weather/climate models.

云与环境之间不同的湍流夹带混合机制对云相关过程至关重要;然而,在天气/气候模型中准确表示夹带混合仍然是一项挑战。本研究利用机器学习(ML)来应对这一挑战。对四种 ML(轻梯度提升机 [LGB]、极端梯度提升、随机森林和支持向量回归)进行了研究和比较。结果发现,LGB 的性能最佳,因此被选来利用显式混合包裹模型的模拟数据了解夹带混合对微物理的影响。与传统的参数化方法相比,训练有素的 LGB 提供了更准确的微物理特性(数量浓度和云滴光谱弥散)。预测的微物理特性对特征的部分依赖性与解释方法确定的物理机制和预期结果非常吻合,从而克服了 "黑箱 "方案的局限性。其基本机制是,较小的数量浓度和较大的频谱散布对应于更不均匀的夹带混合。具体来说,夹带混合后的数量浓度与受夹带混合影响的绝热数量浓度和液态水含量呈正相关,而与绝热体积平均半径呈反相关。夹带混合后的频谱散布与受夹带混合影响的液态水含量、湍流耗散率和夹带空气的相对湿度呈负相关。敏感性分析进一步表明,数量浓度主要由云的微物理特性决定,而频谱散布则同时受云的微物理特性和环境变量的影响。结果表明,LGB 方案有可能在天气/气候模型中加强对夹带混合的表示。

Terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems regulate climate at local to global scales through exchanges of energy and matter with the atmosphere and assist with climate change mitigation through nature-based climate solutions. Climate science is no longer a study of the physics of the atmosphere and oceans, but also the ecology of the biosphere. This is the promise of Earth system science: to transcend academic disciplines to enable study of the interacting physics, chemistry, and biology of the planet. However, long-standing tension in protecting, restoring, and managing forest ecosystems to purposely improve climate evidences the difficulties of interdisciplinary science. For four centuries, forest management for climate betterment was argued, legislated, and ultimately dismissed, when nineteenth century atmospheric scientists narrowly defined climate science to the exclusion of ecology. Today's Earth system science, with its roots in global models of climate, unfolds in similar ways to the past. With Earth system models, geoscientists are again defining the ecology of the Earth system. Here we reframe Earth system science so that the biosphere and its ecology are equally integrated with the fluid Earth to enable Earth system prediction for planetary stewardship. Central to this is the need to overcome an intellectual heritage to the models that elevates geoscience and marginalizes ecology and local land knowledge. The call for kilometer-scale atmospheric and ocean models, without concomitant scientific and computational investment in the land and biosphere, perpetuates the geophysical view of Earth and will not fully provide the comprehensive actionable information needed for a changing climate.

陆地、水生和海洋生态系统通过与大气层进行能量和物质交换,在局部到全球范围内调节气候,并通过基于自然的气候解决方案协助减缓气候变化。气候科学不再是对大气和海洋物理学的研究,也是对生物圈生态学的研究。这就是地球系统科学的承诺:超越学科界限,研究地球上相互作用的物理、化学和生物学。然而,在保护、恢复和管理森林生态系统以有目的地改善气候方面长期存在的矛盾证明了跨学科科学的困难。四个世纪以来,当十九世纪的大气科学家狭隘地定义气候科学而将生态学排除在外时,为改善气候而进行的森林管理被争论、立法,并最终被否定。今天的地球系统科学植根于全球气候模型,其发展方式与过去类似。通过地球系统模型,地球科学家再次定义了地球系统的生态学。在这里,我们重新构建了地球系统科学,使生物圈及其生态与流动的地球同样融为一体,从而为地球管理进行地球系统预测。这其中的核心是需要克服对模型的知识传承,这种传承抬高了地球科学,而将生态学和当地土地知识边缘化。如果不对陆地和生物圈进行相应的科学和计算投资,就要求建立千米尺度的大气和海洋模型,这将使地球物理观点永久化,无法为不断变化的气候提供所需的全面可操作信息。

Interpretable Multiscale Machine Learning-Based Parameterizations of Convection for ICON 基于机器学习的可解释多尺度对流参数化 ICON

Machine learning (ML)-based parameterizations have been developed for Earth System Models (ESMs) with the goal to better represent subgrid-scale processes or to accelerate computations. ML-based parameterizations within hybrid ESMs have successfully learned subgrid-scale processes from short high-resolution simulations. However, most studies used a particular ML method to parameterize the subgrid tendencies or fluxes originating from the compound effect of various small-scale processes (e.g., radiation, convection, gravity waves) in mostly idealized settings or from superparameterizations. Here, we use a filtering technique to explicitly separate convection from these processes in simulations with the Icosahedral Non-hydrostatic modeling framework (ICON) in a realistic setting and benchmark various ML algorithms against each other offline. We discover that an unablated U-Net, while showing the best offline performance, learns reverse causal relations between convective precipitation and subgrid fluxes. While we were able to connect the learned relations of the U-Net to physical processes this was not possible for the non-deep learning-based Gradient Boosted Trees. The ML algorithms are then coupled online to the host ICON model. Our best online performing model, an ablated U-Net excluding precipitating tracer species, indicates higher agreement for simulated precipitation extremes and mean with the high-resolution simulation compared to the traditional scheme. However, a smoothing bias is introduced both in water vapor path and mean precipitation. Online, the ablated U-Net significantly improves stability compared to the non-ablated U-Net and runs stable for the full simulation period of 180 days. Our results hint to the potential to significantly reduce systematic errors with hybrid ESMs.

为地球系统模型(ESM)开发了基于机器学习(ML)的参数化,目的是更好地表示子网格尺度过程或加速计算。混合 ESM 中基于 ML 的参数化已经成功地从短时高分辨率模拟中学习到了子网格尺度过程。然而,大多数研究使用特定的 ML 方法来参数化源自各种小尺度过程(如辐射、对流、重力波)复合效应的子网格趋势或通量,这些过程大多是理想化设置或超参数化。在这里,我们使用一种过滤技术,在二十面体非流体静力学建模框架(ICON)的模拟中,将对流从这些过程中明确分离出来,并对各种 ML 算法进行离线对比。我们发现,未钝化的 U-Net 虽然显示出最佳离线性能,但却能反向学习对流降水与子网格通量之间的因果关系。虽然我们能够将 U-Net 学习到的关系与物理过程联系起来,但这对于基于非深度学习的梯度提升树来说是不可能的。然后将 ML 算法与主机 ICON 模型进行在线耦合。与传统方案相比,我们的在线性能最佳模型--不包括降水示踪物种的消融 U-Net 表明,模拟的降水极值和平均值与高分辨率模拟的一致性更高。不过,水汽路径和平均降水量都出现了平滑偏差。与未消融的 U-Net 相比,在线消融的 U-Net 显著提高了稳定性,并在 180 天的整个模拟期内稳定运行。我们的研究结果表明,混合 ESM 有可能显著减少系统误差。

The atmosphere-ocean is a highly coupled system with significant diurnal and hourly variations. However, current coupled models usually lack sub-diurnal scale processes at the air-sea interface due to the finite vertical resolution for ocean discretization. Previous modeling studies showed that sub-diurnal scale air-sea interaction processes are important for ocean mixing. Here, by designing an integrated sub-diurnal parameterization (ISDP) scheme which combines different temperature profiling functions, we stress sub-diurnal air-sea interactions to better represent the local ocean mixing. This scheme has been implemented into two coupled models which contributed to the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), referenced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—Community Earth System Model and Coupled Model version 2. The results show that the ISDP scheme improves model simulations with better climatology and more realistic spectra, especially in the tropics and North Pacific Ocean. With the scheme, the tropical cold tongue bias is significantly relaxed by reducing the overestimation of ocean upper mixing, and the cold bias of North Pacific Ocean is reduced due to the improvement on currents and net heat fluxes. Our scheme may help better the simulation and prediction skills of coupled models when their horizontal resolution becomes fine but vertical resolution remains relatively coarse as it describes high-frequency air-sea interactions more realistically.

大气-海洋是一个高度耦合的系统,具有显著的日变化和小时变化。然而,由于海洋离散化的垂直分辨率有限,目前的耦合模式通常缺乏海气界面的亚昼夜尺度过程。以往的建模研究表明,亚昼夜尺度的海气相互作用过程对海洋混合非常重要。在此,我们通过设计一种结合了不同温度剖面函数的综合亚日参数化(ISDP)方案,强调亚日尺度的海气相互作用,以更好地表示局地海洋混合。该方案已在两个耦合模式中实施,这两个模式为气候模式相互比较项目(CMIP)做出了贡献,并被政府间气候变化专门委员会--地球系统模式和耦合模式版本 2 引用。结果表明,ISDP 方案改进了模型模拟,气候学效果更好,光谱更逼真,尤其是在热带和北太平洋地区。采用该方案后,由于减少了对海洋上层混合的高估,热带冷舌偏差明显减小;由于改善了海流和净热通量,北太平洋的冷偏差也有所减小。当耦合模式的水平分辨率变得精细但垂直分辨率仍然相对粗糙时,我们的方案可能有助于提高其模拟和预测能力,因为它能更真实地描述高频海气相互作用。

Climate change will impact mountain watershed streamflow both directly—with changing precipitation amounts and variability—and indirectly—through temperature shifts altering snowpack, melt, and evapotranspiration. To understand how these complex processes will affect ecosystem functioning and water resources, we need tools to distinguish connections between water sources (rain/snowmelt), groundwater storage, and exit fluxes (streamflow/evapotranspiration), and to determine how these connections change seasonally and as climate shifts. Here, we develop novel watershed-scale approaches to understand water source, storage, and exit flux connections using a dynamic-flux particle tracking model (EcoSLIM) applied in California's Cosumnes Watershed, which connects the Sierra Nevada and Central Valley. This work develops new visualizations and applications to provide mechanistic understanding that underpins the interpretation of isotopic field data at watershed scales to distinguish sources, flow paths, residence times, and storage selection. In our simulations, streamflow comes primarily from snow-derived water while evapotranspiration generally comes from rain. Most streamflow starts above 1,000 m while evapotranspiration is sourced relatively evenly across the watershed and is generally younger than streamflow. Modeled streamflow consists primarily of water sourced from precipitation in the previous 5 years but before the current water year, while ET consists primarily of water from precipitation in the current water year. ET, and to a lesser extent streamflow, are both younger than water in groundwater storage. However, snowmelt-derived streamflow preferentially discharges older water from snow-derived storage. Dynamic-flux particle tracking and new approaches presented here enable novel model-tracer comparisons in large-scale watersheds to better understand watershed behavior in a changing climate.

气候变化将直接影响山区流域的溪流--降水量和降水变化,以及间接影响--温度变化改变积雪、融雪和蒸发。为了了解这些复杂的过程将如何影响生态系统功能和水资源,我们需要一些工具来区分水源(降雨/融雪)、地下水储存和出口通量(溪流/蒸散)之间的联系,并确定这些联系如何随着季节和气候的变化而变化。在此,我们开发了新颖的流域尺度方法,利用动态通量粒子跟踪模型(EcoSLIM)了解水源、储水和出口通量之间的联系,该模型应用于连接内华达山脉和中央山谷的加利福尼亚科苏米斯流域。这项工作开发了新的可视化和应用软件,为解释流域尺度上的同位素现场数据提供了机制上的理解,从而区分水源、水流路径、停留时间和存储选择。在我们的模拟中,溪流主要来自雪水,而蒸发通常来自雨水。大部分溪流从海拔 1000 米以上开始,而蒸发蒸腾则相对均匀地来自整个流域,并且通常比溪流更年轻。模拟的溪流主要由前 5 年但在当前水年之前的降水量组成,而蒸散发主要由当前水年的降水量组成。蒸散发(其次是溪流)都比地下水储存水量年轻。然而,融雪形成的溪流更倾向于从积雪储水中排出较老的水。本文介绍的动态流量粒子跟踪和新方法可在大尺度流域中进行新颖的模型-示踪剂比较,从而更好地了解气候变化下的流域行为。

We present a parsimonious deep learning weather prediction model to forecast seven atmospheric variables with 3-hr time resolution for up to 1-year lead times on a 110-km global mesh using the Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization (HEALPix). In comparison to state-of-the-art (SOTA) machine learning (ML) weather forecast models, such as Pangu-Weather and GraphCast, our DLWP-HPX model uses coarser resolution and far fewer prognostic variables. Yet, at 1-week lead times, its skill is only about 1 day behind both SOTA ML forecast models and the SOTA numerical weather prediction model from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. We report several improvements in model design, including switching from the cubed sphere to the HEALPix mesh, inverting the channel depth of the U-Net, and introducing gated recurrent units (GRU) on each level of the U-Net hierarchy. The consistent east-west orientation of all cells on the HEALPix mesh facilitates the development of location-invariant convolution kernels that successfully propagate weather patterns across the globe without requiring separate kernels for the polar and equatorial faces of the cube sphere. Without any loss of spectral power after the first 2 days, the model can be unrolled autoregressively for hundreds of steps into the future to generate realistic states of the atmosphere that respect seasonal trends, as showcased in 1-year simulations.

我们提出了一种简洁的深度学习天气预报模型,利用层次等面积等纬度像素化(HEALPix)技术,在 110 千米的全球网格上以 3 小时的时间分辨率预报七个大气变量,预报周期最长可达 1 年。与最先进的(SOTA)机器学习(ML)天气预报模式(如盘古天气和 GraphCast)相比,我们的 DLWP-HPX 模式使用更粗糙的分辨率和更少的预报变量。然而,在 1 周的准备时间内,其技能仅比 SOTA ML 预报模式和欧洲中期天气预报中心的 SOTA 数值天气预报模式落后 1 天左右。我们报告了模型设计方面的几项改进,包括从立方球形网格转换到 HEALPix 网格,反转 U-Net 的通道深度,以及在 U-Net 层次结构的每一级引入门控循环单元(GRU)。HEALPix 网格上所有单元的东西方向一致,这有利于开发位置不变的卷积核,从而成功地将天气模式传播到全球各地,而无需为立方体球体的极地和赤道面分别建立核。在头两天之后,该模型的频谱功率不会有任何损失,可以自回归方式向未来展开数百步,生成尊重季节趋势的真实大气状态,这在 1 年模拟中得到了展示。

A Constrained Spectral Approximation of Subgrid-Scale Orography on Unstructured Grids 非结构化网格上子网格尺度摄星术的受限光谱近似方法

The representation of subgrid-scale orography is a challenge in the physical parameterization of orographic gravity-wave sources in weather forecasting. A significant hurdle is encoding as much physical information with as simple a representation as possible. Other issues include scale awareness, that is, the orographic representation has to change according to the grid cell size and usability on unstructured geodesic grids with non-quadrilateral grid cells. This work introduces a novel spectral analysis method approximating a scale-aware spectrum of subgrid-scale orography on unstructured geodesic grids. The dimension of the physical orographic data is reduced by more than two orders of magnitude in its spectral representation. Simultaneously, the power of the approximated spectrum is close to the physical value. The method is based on well-known least-squares spectral analyses. However, it is robust to the choice of the free parameters, and tuning the algorithm is generally unnecessary. Numerical experiments involving an idealized setup show that this novel spectral analysis performs significantly better than a straightforward least-squares spectral analysis in representing the physical energy of a spectrum. Studies involving real-world topographic data are conducted, and reasonable error scores within ±10% error relative to the maximum physical quantity of interest are achieved across different grid sizes and background wind speeds. The deterministic behavior of the method is investigated along with its principal capabilities and potential biases, and it is shown that the error scores can be iteratively improved if an optimization target is known. Discussions on the method's limitations and broader applicability conclude this work.

子网格尺度地貌的表示是天气预报中地貌重力波源物理参数化的一个挑战。一个重要的障碍是用尽可能简单的表示方法编码尽可能多的物理信息。其他问题包括尺度感知,即地形表示必须根据网格单元的大小而改变,以及在非四边形网格单元的非结构化大地网格上的可用性。这项工作介绍了一种新颖的频谱分析方法,该方法可近似非结构化大地网格上子网格尺度地貌的尺度感知频谱。在光谱表示中,物理地貌数据的维度减少了两个数量级以上。同时,近似频谱的功率接近物理值。该方法基于著名的最小二乘光谱分析。不过,该方法对自由参数的选择具有很强的鲁棒性,通常无需对算法进行调整。涉及理想化设置的数值实验表明,在表示光谱的物理能量方面,这种新型光谱分析方法的性能明显优于直接的最小二乘法光谱分析方法。研究涉及真实世界的地形数据,在不同的网格大小和背景风速下,相对于感兴趣的最大物理量的误差在±10%以内,达到了合理的误差分数。对该方法的确定性行为及其主要功能和潜在偏差进行了研究,结果表明,如果已知优化目标,误差分值可以迭代改进。最后还讨论了该方法的局限性和更广泛的适用性。
