We propose a super-resolution (SR) simulation system that consists of a physics-based meteorological simulation and an SR method based on a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN is trained using pairs of high-resolution (HR) and low-resolution (LR) images created from meteorological simulation results for different resolutions so that it can map LR simulation images to HR ones. The proposed SR simulation system, which performs LR simulations, can provide HR prediction results in much shorter operating cycles than those required for corresponding HR simulation prediction system. We apply the SR simulation system to urban micrometeorology, which is strongly affected by buildings and human activity. Urban micrometeorology simulations that need to resolve urban buildings are computationally costly and thus cannot be used for operational real-time predictions even when run on supercomputers. We performed HR micrometeorology simulations on a supercomputer to obtain datasets for training the CNN in the SR method. It is shown that the proposed SR method can be used with a spatial scaling factor of 4 and that it outperforms conventional interpolation methods by a large margin. It is also shown that the proposed SR simulation system has the potential to be used for operational urban micrometeorology predictions.

The present paper proposes a physics-informed super-resolution (SR) model based on a convolutional neural network and applies it to the near-surface temperature in urban areas with the scaling factor of 4. The SR model incorporates a skip connection,
a channel attention mechanism, and separated feature extractors for the inputs of temperature, building height, downward shortwave radiation, and horizontal velocity. We train the SR model with sets of low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) images from building-resolving large-eddy simulations (LESs) in an urban city. The generalization capability of the SR model is confirmed with LESs in another city. The estimated HR temperature fields are more accurate than those of the bicubic interpolation and image SR model that takes only the temperature as input. Except for the temperature input, the building height is the most important to reconstruct the HR temperature and enables the SR model to reduce errors in temperature near building boundaries. The analysis of attention weights indicates that the importance of building height increases as the downward shortwave radiation becomes larger. The contrast between sun and shade is strengthened with the increase in solar radiation, which may affect the temperature distribution. The short inference time suggests the potential of the proposed physics-informed SR model to facilitate a real-time HR forecast in metropolitan areas by combining it with an LR building-resolving LES model.
A simple analytical/numerical model has been developed for computing the evolution, over periods of up to a few hours, of the current and temperature profile in the upper layer of the ocean. The model is based upon conservation laws for heat and mome
ntum, and employs an eddy diffusion parameterisation which is dependent on both the wind speed and the wind stress applied at the sea surface. Other parameters such as the bulk-skin surface temperature difference and CO$_2$ flux are determined by application of the Molecular Oceanic Boundary Layer Model (MOBLAM) of Schluessel and Soloviev. A similar model, for the current profile only, predicts a temporary increase in wave breaking intensity and decrease in wave height under conditions where the wind speed increases suddenly, such as, for example, during gusts and squalls. The model results are compared with measurements from the lagrangian Skin Depth Experimental Profiler (SkinDeEP) surface profiling instrument made during the 1999 MOCE-5 field experiment in the waters around Baja California. SkinDeEP made repeated profiles of temperature within the upper few metres of the water column. Given that no tuning was performed in the model, and that the model does not take account of stratification, the results of the model runs are in rather good agreement with the observations. The model may be suitable as an interface between time-independent models of processes very near the surface, and larger-scale three-dimensional time-dependent ocean circulation models. A straightforward extension of the model should also be suitable for making time-dependent computations of gas concentration in the near-surface layer of the ocean.
One of the most important aspects in tsunami studies is the wave behavior when it approaches the coast. Information on physical parameters that characterize waves is often limited because of the diffilculties in achieving accurate measurements at the
time of the event. The impact of a tsunami on the coast is governed by nonlinear physics such as turbulence with spatial and temporal variability. The use of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic method (SPH) presents advantages over models based on two-dimensional Shallow Waters Equations (SWE), because the assumed vertical velocity simplifies hydrodynamics in two dimensions. The study presented here reports numerical SPH simulations of the tsunami event occurred in Coquimbo (Chile) on September 16 of 2015. On the basis of the reconstruction of the physical parameters that characterized this event (flow velocities, direction and water elevations), calibrated by a reference rodel, force values on buildings located on the study coast were numerically calculated, and compared with an estimate of the Chilean Structural Design Standard. Finally, discussion and conclusions of the comparison of both methodologies are presented, including an influence analysis of the topographical detail of the model in the estimation of hydrodynamic forces.
In this paper we describe the construction of an efficient probabilistic parameterization that could be used in a coarse-resolution numerical model in which the variation of moisture is not properly resolved. An Eulerian model using a coarse-grained
field on a grid cannot properly resolve regions of saturation---in which condensation occurs---that are smaller than the grid boxes. Thus, in the absence of a parameterization scheme, either the grid box must become saturated or condensation will be underestimated. On the other hand, in a stochastic Lagrangian model of moisture transport, trajectories of parcels tagged with humidity variables are tracked and small-scale moisture variability can be retained; however, explicitly implementing such a scheme in a global model would be computationally prohibitive. One way to introduce subgrid-scale saturation into an Eulerian model is to assume the humidity within a grid box has a probability distribution. To close the problem, this distribution is conventionally determined by relating the required subgrid-scale properties of the flow to the grid-scale properties using a turbulence closure. Here, instead, we determine an assumed probability distribution by using the statistical moments from a stochastic Lagrangian version of the system. The stochastic system is governed by a Fokker--Planck equation and we use that, rather than explicitly following the moisture parcels, to determine the parameters of the assumed distribution. We are thus able to parameterize subgrid-scale condensation in an Eulerian model in a computationally efficient and theoretically well-founded way. In two idealized advection--condensation problems we show that a coarse Eulerian model with the subgrid parameterization is well able to mimic its Lagrangian counterpart.
Calculations of entropy fluxes and production rate have been evaluated with some success to study atmospheric processes. However, recurring questions arise as to how best to take into account entropy flux due to radiation, for example. This article r
aises another kind of question: how to define the entropy of the atmosphere itself, which is composed of variable proportions of dry air (nitrogen, oxygen, argon, etc.) and water (vapour, liquid, ice). The specific values of the entropy for such a variable composition system depend on the reference values of its components. Most of the current definitions are based on entropies set at zero for dry air and liquid water at zero degrees Celsius. Differently, the third law of thermodynamics assumes that the entropy of all species cancels out for the more stable solid state at the zero of absolute temperatures. In this paper, we analyze the possible consequences of this absolute definition of entropy of moist air on the calculation of entropy fluxes. The impacts of moisture are significant and these new calculation methods seem to be able to modify the budgets of atmospheric entropy, with possible impacts on the nature of the equilibrium of the atmosphere resulting from entropic imbalances induced by radiations.
