Climate modelling and projections without irrelevant weather details: the Half order Energy Balance Equation

报告简介:

Multifractal theory provides an effective tool foranalyzing geoscientific data, while Earth complexity science focuses on the nonlinear,dynamic, and complex phenomenawithin the Earthsystem,using approaches suchasmultifractal analysisto understand and explain these phenomena. Cross-disciplinary research between these two fields helps us beter grasp the Earth's complexity and dynamism. Earth complexity science is devoted to studying the complex behaviors and interactions of the Earth system—including the atmosphere, oceans, crust,and ecosystems.This involves building models to simulate and interpret the behavior of these interacting subsystems. The field also explores how multiple data sources and models can be used to predict natural hazards—such as earthquakes,hurricanes,floods,and volcanic eruptions——in order to improve disaster management and risk reduction.
