| Popis: | A conditional Gaussian framework for understanding and predicting complex multiscale nonlinear stochastic systems is developed. Despite the conditional Gaussianity, such systems are nevertheless highly nonlinear and are able to capture the non-Gaussian features of nature. The special structure of the system allows closed analytical formulae for solving the conditional statistics and is thus computationally efficient. A rich gallery of examples of conditional Gaussian systems are illustrated here, which includes data-driven physics-constrained nonlinear stochastic models, stochastically coupled reaction–diffusion models in neuroscience and ecology, and large-scale dynamical models in turbulence, fluids and geophysical flows. Making use of the conditional Gaussian structure, efficient statistically accurate algorithms involving a novel hybrid strategy for different subspaces, a judicious block decomposition and statistical symmetry are developed for solving the Fokker–Planck equation in large dimensions. The conditional Gaussian framework is also applied to develop extremely cheap multiscale data assimilation schemes, such as the stochastic superparameterization, which use particle filters to capture the non-Gaussian statistics on the large-scale part whose dimension is small whereas the statistics of the small-scale part are conditional Gaussian given the large-scale part. Other topics of the conditional Gaussian systems studied here include designing new parameter estimation schemes and understanding model errors. |
