Researchers have developed a novel framework that utilizes reinforcement learning (RL) to replace fixed tunable parameters in weather and climate models with state-dependent functions. This approach aims to reduce persistent biases inherent in traditional methods by allowing parameters to adapt dynamically to the evolving model state. Evaluations across idealised testbeds, including a simple climate bias correction, radiative-convective equilibrium, and an energy balance model, demonstrated that RL algorithms like Truncated Quantile Critics, Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient, and Twin Delayed DDPG achieved higher skill and stable convergence compared to static baselines. The study suggests that RL offers a scalable pathway for online learning within numerical models, with potential applications in improving weather and climate predictions. AI
