Crowdsourcing the Frontier: Advancing Hybrid Physics-ML Climate Simulation via a $50,000 Kaggle Competition
This paper demonstrates that a $50,000 Kaggle competition successfully crowdsourced diverse machine learning architectures for subgrid parameterization, which, when coupled with a full-physics climate model, achieved reproducible online stability and state-of-the-art performance, marking a significant milestone in advancing hybrid physics-ML climate simulations.
