## Title

Accelerating climate models using an AI surrogate

## About

We accelerate Community Atmospheric Model (CAM) simulations by replacing the moist physics and radiation with an AI surrogate using a novel python-fortran bridge (TorchClim) in the Community Earth System Model (CESM). We show that a deep neural network surrogate trained on data from CAM itself can produce a stable model that reproduces the climate and variability of the original model, albeit with some biases.
