Complexity vs Simplicity in Geophysics
Really interesting mechanistic reductionism illustrating what it means to explain phenomena scientifically. It’s all about the maths.

“Applications of Deep Learning to ocean data inference and subgrid parameterization”
This is another nail in the coffin of the claim I heard at last year’s Lorenz-Charney Symposium at MIT that machine learning methods would not make a serious contribution to advancements in the geophysical sciences. T. Bolton, L. Zanna, “Applications … Continue reading
