    Title: Data-driven large eddy simulation of atmospheric turbulence Abstract: Over the last few years, machine learning has been critical in science and engineering and emerged as a data-driven turbulence model. However, machine learning depends on training data from previous experiments on turbulent flows. Typically, training data capture only a fraction of the active scales of […]
