摘要:

冰盖模拟存在大量参数不确定性,例如基底滑动边界条件或地热通量。量化预测中由此产生的不确定性对支持明智决策至关重要,但高保真度模拟成本过高,无法嵌入不确定性量化(UQ)计算中。UQ方法通常采用Monte Carlo模拟来估计目标统计量,这需要数百次(甚至更多)冰盖模拟。成本更低的低保真度模型唾手可得(例如近似物理模型、更粗的网格),但用低保真度替代模型替换高保真度模型会引入偏差,这意味着使用低保真度模型生成的UQ结果无法得到严格可信的验证。多保真度UQ保留高保真度模型,但扩展估计器以将计算转移到低保真度模型上,同时仍能保证无偏估计。通过利用多种模型,多保真度估计器能够以更低的计算成本保证目标精度。本文提出了一套面向冰盖模拟的综合多保真度UQ框架。我们提出了三种多保真度UQ方法——Multifidelity Monte Carlo(多保真度蒙特卡洛)、Multilevel Monte Carlo(多层蒙特卡洛)和Best Linear Unbiased Estimator(最优线性无偏估计器)——可实现大陆尺度冰盖模拟的可处理UQ。我们在格陵兰冰盖模型上验证了这些技术,用于估计2015-2050年的冰量损失,通过与Monte Carlo模拟对比验证了其估计结果,并给出了性能对比分析。对于95%置信度下等效于1毫米海平面上升贡献的目标精度,多保真度估计器实现了两个数量级的计算加速。

英文摘要:

Ice sheet simulations suffer from vast parametric uncertainties, such as the basal sliding boundary condition or geothermal heat flux. Quantifying the resulting uncertainties in predictions is of utmost importance to support judicious decision-making, but high-fidelity simulations are too expensive to embed within uncertainty quantification (UQ) computations. UQ methods typically employ Monte Carlo simulation to estimate statistics of interest, which requires hundreds (or more) of ice sheet simulations. Cheaper low-fidelity models are readily available (e.g., approximated physics, coarser meshes), but replacing the high-fidelity model with a lower fidelity surrogate introduces bias, which means that UQ results generated with a low-fidelity model cannot be rigorously trusted. Multifidelity UQ retains the high-fidelity model but expands the estimator to shift computations to low-fidelity models, while still guaranteeing an unbiased estimate. Through this exploitation of multiple models, multifidelity estimators guarantee a target accuracy at reduced computational cost. This paper presents a comprehensive multifidelity UQ framework for ice sheet simulations. We present three multifidelity UQ approaches -- Multifidelity Monte Carlo, Multilevel Monte Carlo, and the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator -- that enable tractable UQ for continental-scale ice sheet simulations. We demonstrate the techniques on a model of the Greenland ice sheet to estimate the 2015-2050 ice mass loss, verify their estimates through comparison with Monte Carlo simulations, and give a comparative performance analysis. For a target accuracy equivalent to 1 mm sea level rise contribution at 95% confidence, the multifidelity estimators achieve computational speedups of two orders of magnitude.
