(2/4) Incorporating physics-informed metrics into the equation discovery approach, they developed a model that accurately captures inter-scale energy and enstrophy transfers; leading to the model outperforming traditional physics-based models in representing extreme events and improving forecasting.

(1/4) Karan Jakhar (University of Chicago and Rice University) and his colleagues used machine learning to develop a subgrid-scale parameterization for geophysical turbulence that is not only effective but also analytically derivable using Taylor series expansion.
