An improved method of the Globally Resolved Energy Balance Model by the Bayes network
Abstract. This study introduces an improved method of the Globally Resolved Energy Balance Model(GREB) by the Bayes network. Starting from the climate elements relationship included in the GREB model, we reconstruct the model by the Bayes network to solve the problem of low model accuracy due to over-reliance on boundary conditions and initial conditions and the inability to use observed data for dynamic correction of model parameters. The improved model is applied to the simulation of surface average temperature and atmospheric average temperature based on the 3.75°×3.75° global data sets by Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/ National Center for Atmospheric Research(NCAR) from 1985 to 2014. The results illustrate that the improved model has higher average accuracy and lower spatial differentiation than the original GREB model. And the improved method provides a strong support for other dynamic model improvements.

CC1: 'Comment on egusphere-2022-138', Richard Rosen, 08 Aug 2022
It seems to me there is a major problem with this paper starting with equation #1, namely how was this derived. If we look at the equation carefully right away it there is no definition of the "surfact specific heat capacity". The concept of a heat capacity applies only to some well defined amount of mass that can be heated and, therefore, holds a certain amount of heat. This idea does not seem to apply to the surface of the earth. If it does the authors need to explain how, otherwise equation. Is it the heat capacity of the air, water, or land that is being considered. If equation #1 is not grounded in proper physics, then the entire paper appears useless.
Secondly, for starters, Baysian techniques are typically based on professional guesses. But how could any amount of guessing be more accurate than running models based on climate science?

Thank you very much for your interest in our work and for your helpful and sound comments.
To the first question, this manuscript determines the correlation between different climate elements by referring to the GREB model. The dynamical equations in the article are cited from Ref. 1, where the physical meaning of the whole GREB model is clearly defined, so the conceptual definition of the GREB model is not what this manuscript will explore.
To the second question, as reviewer said, running models based on climate science is a more direct way to perform climate simulations, but the number of factors affecting climate processes and our current lack of comprehensive knowledge of them make existing models either difficult to effectively simulate their evolution or too complex, and sensitive to initial values and boundary conditions (Ref. 2, Ref. 3, Ref. 4). The idea of this manuscript is to use the existing climate models to construct a Bayes network (this means that the amount of guessing in the manuscript is constructed based on the existing climate science model, in section 2.1 of the manuscript). Then, the network is trained with real observation data (In section 3.2 of the manuscript), and finally the simulation of climate processes is realized. Although this manuscript is based on the statistical idea of Bayes network, it is not a complete gray box model. The network is constructed by considering the basic laws in climate science and applying the real observation data. Therefore, the research of this paper can be considered as an improvement to the climate models. And at the same time, the research of this manuscript also proposes a basic idea of combining dynamical and statistical models. From this perspective, it is reasonable and predictable to make better results than climate models by using the thesis method.
I hope to contact you further if you have any suggestions!

If you really believe that your proposed methodology can IMPROVE existing climate models, then why don't you call your paper something like "How to improve exisint climate models using a Bayes network". Then in the text you could list all the steps that need to be taken as implied by your methodology, and then you could illustrate how an actual climate forecast was improved using your methodology, if you have a numerical example that could do so. clearly, if you can succeed at doinig this the climate modelers will have to take notice and respond to your claims.

Thank you very much for your further advice.
As you said, in section 2 of the manuscript, the method of "How to improve exisint climate models using a Bayes network" has been illustrated, and the main approach is to construct a Bayes network by using the interaction between different climate elements in existing climate models. This idea is verified by simulating two elements(surface average temperature and atmospheric average temperature ). The main reason for choosing the GREB model in the article is that the model is relatively simple, and the interaction relationship between the internal elements is relatively single, so the constructed Bayes network is also relatively simple. As for the suggestion about the title of the manuscript, I think it is only an attempt for now and there are still some problems to be solved, so I will carefully consider your suggestions and discuss these further in the discussion.

Dear authors,
First, many thanks for trying to comply with our Code and Data Policy. I want to bring to your attention an issue in your code: comments are not in English. When I open the files with the code, instead of comments, I get several lines of characters that do not mean anything. I guess you could have commented on your code in Chinese, which messed up. Ideally, the comments should be in English, as it is the language used for all the other parts of your submission and the language of our journal.
Please, consider fixing it.
Regards,
Juan A. Añel

RC1: 'Comment on egusphere-2022-138', Anonymous Referee #1, 27 Oct 2022
The manuscript "An improved method of the Globally Resolved Energy Balance Model by the Bayes network" by Liu et al. discusses a Bayes network approach to simulate global temperatures given some climate forcing boundary conditions such as solar radiation, cloud cover or water vapor. While the subject matter is interesting and should be considered for publication, the manuscript is largely unintelligible and should not get published. There are far too many aspects in this manuscript that would need substantial revisions. I recommend to reject this manuscript with an opportunity to resubmit a substantially revised analysis. Details below.
--------------
Major points:(*) Clarity: The manuscript lags clarity on the methods, results and aims on many different levels. It is essentially unintelligible for the reader to understand what has been done, what the results are and how we did get there. Below are a few more points that may help the authors to improve on this.
(*) GREB model: The authors seem use the term GREB model as a general concept of how to simulate the global temperatues based on some boundary conditions (e.g. solar radiation). At the same time the term GREB model also refers to a model published by Dommenget et al.. This is confusing. It is unclear what the GREB model by Dommenget et al. has to do with the Bayes network approach the authors use. It seems they are essentially unrelated models.
(*) Language: The authors use terms that are not commonly used and are therefor hard to understand. Examples:
"the change law of climate system"
"the average accuracy variation trend chart"
(*) IMPM model: What is the IMPM model? It says it is "improved". Improved based on what? It seems to imply that it is based on the GREB model by Dommenget et al., but I do not see how. From the text it seems to have nothing to do with the GREB model by Dommenget et al..
(*) "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9": It is unclear what climate element classifications are. It is in particular unclear what a GREB model 5,7, and 9 would be in contrast to IMPM 5,7, and 9.
(*) Accuracy: How is accuracy defined?
(*) "Nodes" vs. "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9". The authors define several nodes in the GRBE model (.e.g. water vapor, winds, etc.) and they later discuss "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9". Are these entirely unrelated concepts? It needs substantial revisions to explain this better.
(*) Fig.2,3 : What is shown in this figure? The figure is largely unclear. What are the colors? What are the units? What is shown on z-axis labeled "Seasons" 0 to 80? Does this figure has something to do with surface temperature [Celsius]?(*) Fig.7: What is "accuracy variation trend"? It is largely unclear what "trend" could refer to.
(*) GREB model surface temperature: The GRBE model by Dommenget et al. is a flux corrected model that by construction has no biases (errors) in the simulation of the surface temperature. Then, how can the IMPM model be better at simulating surface temperature than the GRBE model, when the GREB model is by construction perfect?
--------------
Other major points (as they appear in the text):
------------
line 55 "... these two average state variables includes most of the climate processes of the GREB ..": Why? Why not water vapour? It is not obvious why water vapour would not be important.
------------
line 189-191 "The tropospheric height of the poles is lower and the tropospheric height of the equator is higher, and which phenomenon leads to the result that temperature of the troposphere at the same height is higher in the poles.":This statement appears to have nothing to do with the analysis presented. It certainly has nothing to do with the GREB model by Dommenget et al., as there is no such thing a tropospheric height, as it is a one-layer model.
------------
line 202 "The all average accuracy of different situations from 1985 to 1994 ...": Does this imply the model is simulated for each year? Assuming they are different each year?How would this work in the GREB model by Dommenget et al.? This model is not simulating internal variability, but only the response to changes in external boundary conditions.

It is essentially unintelligible for the reader to understand what has been done, what the results are and how we did get there.

It is unclear what the GREB model by Dommenget et al. has to do with the Bayes network approach the authors use. It seems they are essentially unrelated models.
Response 1
We utilize the trendcy equations of the different processes in the GREB model in the construction of the Bayes network, so it can be assumed that this Bayes network is abstracted through the GREB model. In our revised version, we further add the link between the improved model and the GREB model by using the GREB-based Bayes network as a local optimization of the GREB model, the main framework is shown below :
Fig. 1 Overall framework of the improved method
In the paper we have chosen the surface temperature as a case study to verify the reliability of this improved method, and therefore, the process of simulating the surface temperature in the GREB model is used as a proxy for the GREB model in the discussion in the paper.
(*) Language: The authors use terms that are not commonly used and are therefor hard to understand. Examples:
"the change law of climate system"
"the average accuracy variation trend chart"
Response 2
We have revised the language throughout the paper to bring it more in line with the expressions in the climate field.
(*) IMPM model: What is the IMPM model? It says it is "improved". Improved based on what? It seems to imply that it is based on the GREB model by Dommenget et al., but I do not see how. From the text it seems to have nothing to do with the GREB model by Dommenget et al..Response 3
We further added the link between the improved model and the GREB model in revised version. we introduced a coarse-fine structure to improve the GREB model based on Bayes network. The improved model uses the GREB model as the basis of the global simulation framework and uses the Bayes network to do local optimization.
(*) "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9": It is unclear what climate element classifications are. It is in particular unclear what a GREB model 5,7, and 9 would be in contrast to IMPM 5,7, and 9.Response 4
The related concepts have been added in detail in the revised version. We divide the climate variable data (specific values) obtained from NCEP/NCAR into different classifications by classification, and these classifications is a indication of climate state.
5, 7, and 9 represent the three types of classification methods. GREB model 5,7, and 9 are contrast to IMPM 5,7, and 9. to discuss the reliability of the classification method.
(*) Accuracy: How is accuracy defined?Response 5
We have added a specific definition of state accuracy in the paper, equation a1.
In order to verify the reliability of the simulated climate states using the Bayes network and to provide a basis for guiding the optimization of the GREB local simulation result, the state accuracy(dimensionless) was used to evaluate the reliability of the simulated climate states, which is expressed as:
State accuracy =n/N
Where n represents the number of time series in which the simulated state value of a grid is the same as the actual state value in the time series, in this case refers to the number of seasons; N represents the total number of time series. State accuracy means the same proportion of simulated and actual states in the same grid.
(*) "Nodes" vs. "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9". The authors define several nodes in the GRBE model (.e.g. water vapor, winds, etc.) and they later discuss "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9". Are these entirely unrelated concepts? It needs substantial revisions to explain this better.Response 6
We have added further discussion in the paper.
Nodes is a graph or network concept, which in the analysis in the paper refers to a climate variable. 5, 7, and 9 refer to the simulated climate state, representing three experiments that are used to discuss the reliability of climate state classification.
In the original manuscript these concepts could be misunderstood due to excessive omissions, and in the revised version we have added the detail.
(*) Fig.2,3 : What is shown in this figure? The figure is largely unclear. What are the colors? What are the units? What is shown on z-axis labeled "Seasons" 0 to 80? Does this figure has something to do with surface temperature [Celsius]?Response 7
We have added a more detailed description in the revised version.
Fig.2,3 shows the climate state of the quarterly average of surface temperature and temperature of the atmosphere from 1995-2014, which is simulated by bayes network. z-axis labeled has been revised to “years” 1995 to 2014. This figure represents the simulated climate state in which they are located. In the case of surface temperature, for example, in the case of 5 state classification, the figure 1 represents a temperature less than 242.73 K, the figure 2 represents a temperature between 242.73 K and 264.91 K; and in the case of 7 state classification, the figure 1 represents a temperature less than 236.92 K in the case of category 7, the figure 2 represents a temperature between 236.92 K and 252.70 K. All classification intervals can be seen in Appendix B.
We chose group rather than specific values to represent these climate variables, the main starting point are to build coarse-fine structure which existence of different granularity and to improve the speed of the calculations so that they meet the original intention of the GREB model to be " a fast tool for the conceptual understanding and development of hypotheses for climate change studies"
(*) Fig.7: What is "accuracy variation trend"? It is largely unclear what "trend" could refer to.
Response 8
This was an inappropriate expression and we have changed it to " Mean of the spatial distribution of the state accuracy in the latitudinal direction" in the revised version.
In fact "trend" means spatial distribution of the state accuracy. Based on this comment, we have carefully revised the expression of the whole paper.
(*) GREB model surface temperature: The GRBE model by Dommenget et al. is a flux corrected model that by construction has no biases (errors) in the simulation of the surface temperature. Then, how can the IMPM model be better at simulating surface temperature than the GRBE model, when the GREB model is by construction perfect?Response 9
In a sense, the biases (errors) of the GREB model essentially comes from the construction perfect that applies to the overall global structure but makes it not respond well to local abrupt changes, while the IMPM (in the revised version) further improves the accuracy by using observational data and local optimization.
--------------
Other major points (as they appear in the text):
------------
line 55 "... these two average state variables includes most of the climate processes of the GREB ..": Why? Why not water vapour? It is not obvious why water vapour would not be important.Response 10
Of course, water vapor is an important variable in the GREB model (water vapor is one of the four prognostic variables in the GREB model). However, the purpose of choosing surface temperature and temperature of the atmosphere in the paper is to serve as a case study to verify the advantages and reliability of the improved method. We have revised expression in the paper.
------------
line 189-191 "The tropospheric height of the poles is lower and the tropospheric height of the equator is higher, and which phenomenon leads to the result that temperature of the troposphere at the same height is higher in the poles.":This statement appears to have nothing to do with the analysis presented. It certainly has nothing to do with the GREB model by Dommenget et al., as there is no such thing a tropospheric height, as it is a one-layer model.
------------
Response 11This passage in the paper is some explanation of the characteristics of the simulation results, and it is mainly used to describe that the climate state simulated by Bayes networks is consistent with reality and is reliable. It is also to show that climate variables vary from region to region and therefore GREB's mean-state-based approach may introduce errors.
line 202 "The all average accuracy of different situations from 1985 to 1994 ...": Does this imply the model is simulated for each year? Assuming they are different each year?How would this work in the GREB model by Dommenget et al.? This model is not simulating internal variability, but only the response to changes in external boundary conditions.
Response 12
There is a misunderstanding that our model, like GREB, does not take into account the temporal variability, and if it did, it would have been trained in different periods.
The simulation is done for each season, not each year, which reflects seasonal variations. Here "average" means to average the state accuracy, which is used to prove that the Bayes network has better average accuracy. We analyze the average error on each year to show that the optimized model can effectively reflect the temporal variability of climate events due to the consideration of different climate modals.
--------------
Other minor points: not listed, as there are too many major points that need to be addressed first.Response 13
In addition to the above targeted revisions, we added experiments to further reflect the improvement of the method on the GREB model (a coarse- fine structure improved model with the GREB model as the global framework and Bayes networks as the local optimization was constructed), and the language of the article was also embellished to make it more consistent with the expression of the climate field and to enrich the details in the paper.

In this study, the authors try to use the Bayes network method to construct a graph model, which is inspired from the structural relationship of a dynamic model named GREB. They find the graph model outperforms the GREB model. The methodology is sound and the results are interesting. However, this manuscript is not clear enough in terms of methods and results. Thus substantial revision is needed.
(1) The sensible heat expression (Qsense) in lines 65/72 and Equation (1 and 2) is inconsistent.
(2) Why the equations 3 and 4 can be derived from equations 1 and 2 need more explanations. What is the kinetic and thermodynamic basis for equations 1 and 2 that can be expressed using five variables (C, W, S, V, O)? For example, ocean temperature (O) is only controlled by radiation (S), and is independent of V. This may facilitate the construction of a graph network, but it is physically unreasonable. Please provide the physical basis for constructing the relationship (the directed edges).
(3) Line 151. What are the standards for data selection?
(4) The descriptions in Figures 2 and 3 are too sketchy. What are the units of the colors? What is the label of z-axis?
(5) Please give more details about the natural break method.
(6) Captions about the figures 5 and 6 maybe wrong. I guess the subplots (e) and (f) are related to the GREB results rather than IMPM.
(7) The title is somewhat misleading. In fact, the authors refer to GREB equations to guide the construction of a graph model. After that, a completely new statistical model was evaluated using NCEP data. However, this statistical model is not used to optimize the GREB model in turn. In general, improving physical models using statistical models is achieved by optimizing uncertain empirical parameters. Therefore, it seems that the IMPM has nothing to do with the GREB improvement. The authors should reconsider whether the current title is accurate.

Thus substantial revision is needed.
(1) The sensible heat expression (Qsense) in lines 65/72 and Equation (1 and 2) is inconsistent.
Response 1
We unified the representation of Qsense as Fsense in the revised version of the article.
(2) Why the equations 3 and 4 can be derived from equations 1 and 2 need more explanations. What is the kinetic and thermodynamic basis for equations 1 and 2 that can be expressed using five variables (C, W, S, V, O)? For example, ocean temperature (O) is only controlled by radiation (S), and is independent of V. This may facilitate the construction of a graph network, but it is physically unreasonable. Please provide the physical basis for constructing the relationship (the directed edges).
Response 2
We have added further derivation details in the paper and modified the abbreviations of the variables from C, W, S, V, O to CLD, qair, Fsolar, , Tocean in the tendency equation, which makes the abstraction process more intuitive.
The nodes are selected considering not only the tendency equation but also the efficiency of the calculation, so the unselected nodes do not mean that they are unimportant in the physical, but the positive objects are discarded in the case of little impact on the accuracy of the results in order to improve the efficiency of the calculation and make it reach the starting point of GREB " a fast tool for the conceptual understanding and development of hypotheses for climate change studies"
(3) Line 151. What are the standards for data selection?
Response 3
We chose these data because they are needed in the simulations of the two cases chosen.
(4) The descriptions in Figures 2 and 3 are too sketchy. What are the units of the colors? What is the label of z-axis?
Response 4
Fig.2,3 shows the climate state of the quarterly average of surface temperature and temperature of the atmosphere from 1995-2014, which is simulated by bayes network. z-axis labeled has been revised to “years” 1995 to 2014. This figure represent the climate state in which they are located. In the case of surface temperature, for example, in the case of 5 state classification, the figure 1 represents a temperature less than 242.73 K, the figure 2 represents a temperature between 242.73 K and 264.91 K; and in the case of 7 state classification, the figure 1 represents a temperature less than 236.92 K in the case of category 7, the figure 2 represents a temperature between 236.92 K and 252.70 K. All classification intervals can be seen in Appendix B.
We chose states rather than specific values to represent these climate variables, the main starting point being to improve the speed of the calculations so that they meet the original intention of the GREB model to be " a fast tool for the conceptual understanding and development of hypotheses for climate change studies"
(5) Please give more details about the natural break method.
Response 5
We have added a section in the methods section to give more details about the natural break method and why choose state as evaluation objects.
(6) Captions about the figures 5 and 6 maybe wrong. I guess the subplots (e) and (f) are related to the GREB results rather than IMPM.
Response 6
We have corrected the notes on Figures 5 and 6.
(7) The title is somewhat misleading. In fact, the authors refer to GREB equations to guide the construction of a graph model. After that, a completely new statistical model was evaluated using NCEP data. However, this statistical model is not used to optimize the GREB model in turn. In general, improving physical models using statistical models is achieved by optimizing uncertain empirical parameters. Therefore, it seems that the IMPM has nothing to do with the GREB improvement. The authors should reconsider whether the current title is accurate.
Response7
In response to this comment, we have added experiments to the paper. we introduced a coarse-fine structure to improve the GREB model based on Bayes network. The improved model uses the GREB model as the basis of the global simulation framework and uses the Bayes network (improved model in the original manuscript) to do local optimization. The concept of coarse-fine model provides a joint modeling approach of dynamical-statistical hybrid model that is different from the traditional use of statistical model to optimize the empirical parameters of the dynamical model.
Response 8
In addition to the above targeted revisions, we added experiments to further reflect the improvement of the method on the GREB model (a coarse- fine structure improved model with the GREB model as the global framework and Bayes networks as the local optimization was constructed, the main framework is shown below ), and the language of the article was also embellished to make it more consistent with the expression of the climate field and to enrich the details in the paper.

It seems to me there is a major problem with this paper starting with equation #1, namely how was this derived. If we look at the equation carefully right away it there is no definition of the "surfact specific heat capacity". The concept of a heat capacity applies only to some well defined amount of mass that can be heated and, therefore, holds a certain amount of heat. This idea does not seem to apply to the surface of the earth. If it does the authors need to explain how, otherwise equation. Is it the heat capacity of the air, water, or land that is being considered. If equation #1 is not grounded in proper physics, then the entire paper appears useless.
Secondly, for starters, Baysian techniques are typically based on professional guesses. But how could any amount of guessing be more accurate than running models based on climate science?

Thank you very much for your interest in our work and for your helpful and sound comments.
To the first question, this manuscript determines the correlation between different climate elements by referring to the GREB model. The dynamical equations in the article are cited from Ref. 1, where the physical meaning of the whole GREB model is clearly defined, so the conceptual definition of the GREB model is not what this manuscript will explore.
To the second question, as reviewer said, running models based on climate science is a more direct way to perform climate simulations, but the number of factors affecting climate processes and our current lack of comprehensive knowledge of them make existing models either difficult to effectively simulate their evolution or too complex, and sensitive to initial values and boundary conditions (Ref. 2, Ref. 3, Ref. 4). The idea of this manuscript is to use the existing climate models to construct a Bayes network (this means that the amount of guessing in the manuscript is constructed based on the existing climate science model, in section 2.1 of the manuscript). Then, the network is trained with real observation data (In section 3.2 of the manuscript), and finally the simulation of climate processes is realized. Although this manuscript is based on the statistical idea of Bayes network, it is not a complete gray box model. The network is constructed by considering the basic laws in climate science and applying the real observation data. Therefore, the research of this paper can be considered as an improvement to the climate models. And at the same time, the research of this manuscript also proposes a basic idea of combining dynamical and statistical models. From this perspective, it is reasonable and predictable to make better results than climate models by using the thesis method.

If you really believe that your proposed methodology can IMPROVE existing climate models, then why don't you call your paper something like "How to improve exisint climate models using a Bayes network". Then in the text you could list all the steps that need to be taken as implied by your methodology, and then you could illustrate how an actual climate forecast was improved using your methodology, if you have a numerical example that could do so. clearly, if you can succeed at doinig this the climate modelers will have to take notice and respond to your claims.

Thank you very much for your further advice.
As you said, in section 2 of the manuscript, the method of "How to improve exisint climate models using a Bayes network" has been illustrated, and the main approach is to construct a Bayes network by using the interaction between different climate elements in existing climate models. This idea is verified by simulating two elements(surface average temperature and atmospheric average temperature ). The main reason for choosing the GREB model in the article is that the model is relatively simple, and the interaction relationship between the internal elements is relatively single, so the constructed Bayes network is also relatively simple. As for the suggestion about the title of the manuscript, I think it is only an attempt for now and there are still some problems to be solved, so I will carefully consider your suggestions and discuss these further in the discussion.

Dear authors,
First, many thanks for trying to comply with our Code and Data Policy. I want to bring to your attention an issue in your code: comments are not in English. When I open the files with the code, instead of comments, I get several lines of characters that do not mean anything. I guess you could have commented on your code in Chinese, which messed up. Ideally, the comments should be in English, as it is the language used for all the other parts of your submission and the language of our journal.
Please, consider fixing it.

RC1: 'Comment on egusphere-2022-138', Anonymous Referee #1, 27 Oct 2022
The manuscript "An improved method of the Globally Resolved Energy Balance Model by the Bayes network" by Liu et al. discusses a Bayes network approach to simulate global temperatures given some climate forcing boundary conditions such as solar radiation, cloud cover or water vapor. While the subject matter is interesting and should be considered for publication, the manuscript is largely unintelligible and should not get published. There are far too many aspects in this manuscript that would need substantial revisions. I recommend to reject this manuscript with an opportunity to resubmit a substantially revised analysis. Details below.
--------------
Major points:(*) Clarity: The manuscript lags clarity on the methods, results and aims on many different levels. It is essentially unintelligible for the reader to understand what has been done, what the results are and how we did get there. Below are a few more points that may help the authors to improve on this.
(*) GREB model: The authors seem use the term GREB model as a general concept of how to simulate the global temperatues based on some boundary conditions (e.g. solar radiation). At the same time the term GREB model also refers to a model published by Dommenget et al.. This is confusing. It is unclear what the GREB model by Dommenget et al. has to do with the Bayes network approach the authors use. It seems they are essentially unrelated models.
(*) Language: The authors use terms that are not commonly used and are therefor hard to understand. Examples:
"the change law of climate system"
"the average accuracy variation trend chart"
(*) IMPM model: What is the IMPM model? It says it is "improved". Improved based on what? It seems to imply that it is based on the GREB model by Dommenget et al., but I do not see how. From the text it seems to have nothing to do with the GREB model by Dommenget et al..
(*) "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9": It is unclear what climate element classifications are. It is in particular unclear what a GREB model 5,7, and 9 would be in contrast to IMPM 5,7, and 9.
(*) Accuracy: How is accuracy defined?
(*) "Nodes" vs. "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9". The authors define several nodes in the GRBE model (.e.g. water vapor, winds, etc.) and they later discuss "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9". Are these entirely unrelated concepts? It needs substantial revisions to explain this better.
(*) Fig.2,3 : What is shown in this figure? The figure is largely unclear. What are the colors? What are the units? What is shown on z-axis labeled "Seasons" 0 to 80? Does this figure has something to do with surface temperature [Celsius]?(*) Fig.7: What is "accuracy variation trend"? It is largely unclear what "trend" could refer to.
(*) GREB model surface temperature: The GRBE model by Dommenget et al. is a flux corrected model that by construction has no biases (errors) in the simulation of the surface temperature. Then, how can the IMPM model be better at simulating surface temperature than the GRBE model, when the GREB model is by construction perfect?
--------------
Other major points (as they appear in the text):
------------
line 55 "... these two average state variables includes most of the climate processes of the GREB ..": Why? Why not water vapour? It is not obvious why water vapour would not be important.
------------
line 189-191 "The tropospheric height of the poles is lower and the tropospheric height of the equator is higher, and which phenomenon leads to the result that temperature of the troposphere at the same height is higher in the poles.":This statement appears to have nothing to do with the analysis presented. It certainly has nothing to do with the GREB model by Dommenget et al., as there is no such thing a tropospheric height, as it is a one-layer model.
------------
line 202 "The all average accuracy of different situations from 1985 to 1994 ...": Does this imply the model is simulated for each year? Assuming they are different each year?How would this work in the GREB model by Dommenget et al.? This model is not simulating internal variability, but only the response to changes in external boundary conditions.

AC4: 'Reply on RC1', Wen Luo, 13 Apr 2023
Thank you very much for your helpful and sound comments. We give the responses to all the comments later, taking into account the formula editing and the pictures, we put the full responses in the attachment as well.

Major points:(*) Clarity: The manuscript lags clarity on the methods, results and aims on many different levels. It is essentially unintelligible for the reader to understand what has been done, what the results are and how we did get there. Below are a few more points that may help the authors to improve on this.

At the same time the term GREB model also refers to a model published by Dommenget et al.. This is confusing. It is unclear what the GREB model by Dommenget et al. has to do with the Bayes network approach the authors use. It seems they are essentially unrelated models.
Response 1
We utilize the trendcy equations of the different processes in the GREB model in the construction of the Bayes network, so it can be assumed that this Bayes network is abstracted through the GREB model. In our revised version, we further add the link between the improved model and the GREB model by using the GREB-based Bayes network as a local optimization of the GREB model, the main framework is shown below :
Fig. 1 Overall framework of the improved method
In the paper we have chosen the surface temperature as a case study to verify the reliability of this improved method, and therefore, the process of simulating the surface temperature in the GREB model is used as a proxy for the GREB model in the discussion in the paper.
(*) Language: The authors use terms that are not commonly used and are therefor hard to understand. Examples:
"the change law of climate system"
"the average accuracy variation trend chart"
Response 2
We have revised the language throughout the paper to bring it more in line with the expressions in the climate field.
(*) IMPM model: What is the IMPM model? It says it is "improved". Improved based on what? It seems to imply that it is based on the GREB model by Dommenget et al., but I do not see how. From the text it seems to have nothing to do with the GREB model by Dommenget et al..Response 3
We further added the link between the improved model and the GREB model in revised version. we introduced a coarse-fine structure to improve the GREB model based on Bayes network. The improved model uses the GREB model as the basis of the global simulation framework and uses the Bayes network to do local optimization.
(*) "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9": It is unclear what climate element classifications are. It is in particular unclear what a GREB model 5,7, and 9 would be in contrast to IMPM 5,7, and 9.Response 4
The related concepts have been added in detail in the revised version. We divide the climate variable data (specific values) obtained from NCEP/NCAR into different classifications by classification, and these classifications is a indication of climate state.
5, 7, and 9 represent the three types of classification methods. GREB model 5,7, and 9 are contrast to IMPM 5,7, and 9. to discuss the reliability of the classification method.
(*) Accuracy: How is accuracy defined?Response 5
We have added a specific definition of state accuracy in the paper, equation a1.
In order to verify the reliability of the simulated climate states using the Bayes network and to provide a basis for guiding the optimization of the GREB local simulation result, the state accuracy(dimensionless) was used to evaluate the reliability of the simulated climate states, which is expressed as:
State accuracy =n/N
Where n represents the number of time series in which the simulated state value of a grid is the same as the actual state value in the time series, in this case refers to the number of seasons; N represents the total number of time series. State accuracy means the same proportion of simulated and actual states in the same grid.
(*) "Nodes" vs. "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9". The authors define several nodes in the GRBE model (.e.g. water vapor, winds, etc.) and they later discuss "classification of climate elements is 5, 7, and 9". Are these entirely unrelated concepts? It needs substantial revisions to explain this better.Response 6
We have added further discussion in the paper.
Nodes is a graph or network concept, which in the analysis in the paper refers to a climate variable. 5, 7, and 9 refer to the simulated climate state, representing three experiments that are used to discuss the reliability of climate state classification.
In the original manuscript these concepts could be misunderstood due to excessive omissions, and in the revised version we have added the detail.
(*) Fig.2,3 : What is shown in this figure? The figure is largely unclear. What are the colors? What are the units? What is shown on z-axis labeled "Seasons" 0 to 80? Does this figure has something to do with surface temperature [Celsius]?Response 7
We have added a more detailed description in the revised version.
Fig.2,3 shows the climate state of the quarterly average of surface temperature and temperature of the atmosphere from 1995-2014, which is simulated by bayes network. z-axis labeled has been revised to “years” 1995 to 2014. This figure represents the simulated climate state in which they are located. In the case of surface temperature, for example, in the case of 5 state classification, the figure 1 represents a temperature less than 242.73 K, the figure 2 represents a temperature between 242.73 K and 264.91 K; and in the case of 7 state classification, the figure 1 represents a temperature less than 236.92 K in the case of category 7, the figure 2 represents a temperature between 236.92 K and 252.70 K. All classification intervals can be seen in Appendix B.
We chose group rather than specific values to represent these climate variables, the main starting point are to build coarse-fine structure which existence of different granularity and to improve the speed of the calculations so that they meet the original intention of the GREB model to be " a fast tool for the conceptual understanding and development of hypotheses for climate change studies"
(*) Fig.7: What is "accuracy variation trend"? It is largely unclear what "trend" could refer to.
Response 8
This was an inappropriate expression and we have changed it to " Mean of the spatial distribution of the state accuracy in the latitudinal direction" in the revised version.
In fact "trend" means spatial distribution of the state accuracy. Based on this comment, we have carefully revised the expression of the whole paper.
(*) GREB model surface temperature: The GRBE model by Dommenget et al. is a flux corrected model that by construction has no biases (errors) in the simulation of the surface temperature. Then, how can the IMPM model be better at simulating surface temperature than the GRBE model, when the GREB model is by construction perfect?Response 9
In a sense, the biases (errors) of the GREB model essentially comes from the construction perfect that applies to the overall global structure but makes it not respond well to local abrupt changes, while the IMPM (in the revised version) further improves the accuracy by using observational data and local optimization.
--------------
Other major points (as they appear in the text):
------------
line 55 "... these two average state variables includes most of the climate processes of the GREB ..": Why? Why not water vapour? It is not obvious why water vapour would not be important.Response 10
Of course, water vapor is an important variable in the GREB model (water vapor is one of the four prognostic variables in the GREB model). However, the purpose of choosing surface temperature and temperature of the atmosphere in the paper is to serve as a case study to verify the advantages and reliability of the improved method. We have revised expression in the paper.
------------
line 189-191 "The tropospheric height of the poles is lower and the tropospheric height of the equator is higher, and which phenomenon leads to the result that temperature of the troposphere at the same height is higher in the poles.":This statement appears to have nothing to do with the analysis presented. It certainly has nothing to do with the GREB model by Dommenget et al., as there is no such thing a tropospheric height, as it is a one-layer model.
------------
Response 11This passage in the paper is some explanation of the characteristics of the simulation results, and it is mainly used to describe that the climate state simulated by Bayes networks is consistent with reality and is reliable. It is also to show that climate variables vary from region to region and therefore GREB's mean-state-based approach may introduce errors.
line 202 "The all average accuracy of different situations from 1985 to 1994 ...": Does this imply the model is simulated for each year? Assuming they are different each year?How would this work in the GREB model by Dommenget et al.? This model is not simulating internal variability, but only the response to changes in external boundary conditions.
Response 12
There is a misunderstanding that our model, like GREB, does not take into account the temporal variability, and if it did, it would have been trained in different periods.
The simulation is done for each season, not each year, which reflects seasonal variations. Here "average" means to average the state accuracy, which is used to prove that the Bayes network has better average accuracy. We analyze the average error on each year to show that the optimized model can effectively reflect the temporal variability of climate events due to the consideration of different climate modals.
--------------
Other minor points: not listed, as there are too many major points that need to be addressed first.Response 13
In addition to the above targeted revisions, we added experiments to further reflect the improvement of the method on the GREB model (a coarse- fine structure improved model with the GREB model as the global framework and Bayes networks as the local optimization was constructed), and the language of the article was also embellished to make it more consistent with the expression of the climate field and to enrich the details in the paper.

RC2: 'Comment on egusphere-2022-138', Anonymous Referee #2, 28 Mar 2023
In this study, the authors try to use the Bayes network method to construct a graph model, which is inspired from the structural relationship of a dynamic model named GREB. They find the graph model outperforms the GREB model. The methodology is sound and the results are interesting. However, this manuscript is not clear enough in terms of methods and results. Thus substantial revision is needed.
(1) The sensible heat expression (Qsense) in lines 65/72 and Equation (1 and 2) is inconsistent.
(2) Why the equations 3 and 4 can be derived from equations 1 and 2 need more explanations. What is the kinetic and thermodynamic basis for equations 1 and 2 that can be expressed using five variables (C, W, S, V, O)? For example, ocean temperature (O) is only controlled by radiation (S), and is independent of V. This may facilitate the construction of a graph network, but it is physically unreasonable. Please provide the physical basis for constructing the relationship (the directed edges).
(3) Line 151. What are the standards for data selection?
(4) The descriptions in Figures 2 and 3 are too sketchy. What are the units of the colors? What is the label of z-axis?
(5) Please give more details about the natural break method.
(6) Captions about the figures 5 and 6 maybe wrong. I guess the subplots (e) and (f) are related to the GREB results rather than IMPM.
(7) The title is somewhat misleading. In fact, the authors refer to GREB equations to guide the construction of a graph model. After that, a completely new statistical model was evaluated using NCEP data. However, this statistical model is not used to optimize the GREB model in turn. In general, improving physical models using statistical models is achieved by optimizing uncertain empirical parameters. Therefore, it seems that the IMPM has nothing to do with the GREB improvement. The authors should reconsider whether the current title is accurate.

Thus substantial revision is needed.
(1) The sensible heat expression (Qsense) in lines 65/72 and Equation (1 and 2) is inconsistent.
Response 1
We unified the representation of Qsense as Fsense in the revised version of the article.
(2) Why the equations 3 and 4 can be derived from equations 1 and 2 need more explanations. What is the kinetic and thermodynamic basis for equations 1 and 2 that can be expressed using five variables (C, W, S, V, O)? For example, ocean temperature (O) is only controlled by radiation (S), and is independent of V. This may facilitate the construction of a graph network, but it is physically unreasonable. Please provide the physical basis for constructing the relationship (the directed edges).
Response 2
We have added further derivation details in the paper and modified the abbreviations of the variables from C, W, S, V, O to CLD, qair, Fsolar, , Tocean in the tendency equation, which makes the abstraction process more intuitive.
The nodes are selected considering not only the tendency equation but also the efficiency of the calculation, so the unselected nodes do not mean that they are unimportant in the physical, but the positive objects are discarded in the case of little impact on the accuracy of the results in order to improve the efficiency of the calculation and make it reach the starting point of GREB " a fast tool for the conceptual understanding and development of hypotheses for climate change studies"
(3) Line 151. What are the standards for data selection?
Response 3
We chose these data because they are needed in the simulations of the two cases chosen.
(4) The descriptions in Figures 2 and 3 are too sketchy. What are the units of the colors? What is the label of z-axis?
Response 4
Fig.2,3 shows the climate state of the quarterly average of surface temperature and temperature of the atmosphere from 1995-2014, which is simulated by bayes network. z-axis labeled has been revised to “years” 1995 to 2014. This figure represent the climate state in which they are located. In the case of surface temperature, for example, in the case of 5 state classification, the figure 1 represents a temperature less than 242.73 K, the figure 2 represents a temperature between 242.73 K and 264.91 K; and in the case of 7 state classification, the figure 1 represents a temperature less than 236.92 K in the case of category 7, the figure 2 represents a temperature between 236.92 K and 252.70 K. All classification intervals can be seen in Appendix B.
We chose states rather than specific values to represent these climate variables, the main starting point being to improve the speed of the calculations so that they meet the original intention of the GREB model to be " a fast tool for the conceptual understanding and development of hypotheses for climate change studies"
(5) Please give more details about the natural break method.
Response 5
We have added a section in the methods section to give more details about the natural break method and why choose state as evaluation objects.
(6) Captions about the figures 5 and 6 maybe wrong. I guess the subplots (e) and (f) are related to the GREB results rather than IMPM.
Response 6
We have corrected the notes on Figures 5 and 6.
(7) The title is somewhat misleading. In fact, the authors refer to GREB equations to guide the construction of a graph model. After that, a completely new statistical model was evaluated using NCEP data. However, this statistical model is not used to optimize the GREB model in turn. In general, improving physical models using statistical models is achieved by optimizing uncertain empirical parameters. Therefore, it seems that the IMPM has nothing to do with the GREB improvement. The authors should reconsider whether the current title is accurate.
Response7
In response to this comment, we have added experiments to the paper. we introduced a coarse-fine structure to improve the GREB model based on Bayes network. The improved model uses the GREB model as the basis of the global simulation framework and uses the Bayes network (improved model in the original manuscript) to do local optimization. The concept of coarse-fine model provides a joint modeling approach of dynamical-statistical hybrid model that is different from the traditional use of statistical model to optimize the empirical parameters of the dynamical model.
Response 8
In addition to the above targeted revisions, we added experiments to further reflect the improvement of the method on the GREB model (a coarse- fine structure improved model with the GREB model as the global framework and Bayes networks as the local optimization was constructed, the main framework is shown below ), and the language of the article was also embellished to make it more consistent with the expression of the climate field and to enrich the details in the paper.
