The ERA5 seems to give hourly data, i.e. nyquist limit would thus give decent oscillation amplitudes for waves with periods of about 5 hours or more, whereas I am more interested in faster timescales seconds, minutes, i.e. wind gusts.
Calculating the stability and structural requirements for a super-chimney to the tropopause, would require representative higher temporal frequency wind fields
Do you know if I can extract such a high time resolution from LENS since a cursory look at ERA5 showed a time resolution of just 1 hour?
The advantage of an ML model is that its usually possible to calculate the joint probability for a wind field, or to selectively generate a dataset with N-th percentile wind fields etc.
If its differentiable, and the structural stress assumptions are known, then one can "optimize" towards wind profiles that are simultaneously more dangerous and more probable, to identify what needs adressing. Thats why an ML model of local wind patterns would be desirable. ML is more than just LLM's.
What one typically complains of in the context of LLM's: that there's no error bars on the output, is not entirely correct: just like differentiable ML models for physical and other phenomena they too allow to calculate the joint probability of sentences, except instead of modeling natural phenomena it is modelling what humans uttered in the corpus (or implicit corpus after RLHF etc). A base model LLM can quite accurately predict the likelihood of a human expressing a certain phrase, but thats modeling human expressions, not their validity. An ML model trained on actual weather data, or fine grained simulated weather data results in comparatively more accurate probability distributions, because physics isn't much of an opinion.
