contents Previous research has demonstrated that specific states of the climate system can lead to enhanced subseasonal predictability (i.e., state-dependent predictability). However, biases in Earth system models can affect the representation of these states and their subsequent evolution. Here, we present a machine learning framework to identify state-dependent biases in Earth system models. In particular, we investigate the utility of transfer learning with explainable neural networks to identify tropical state-dependent biases in historical simulations of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 2 (E3SMv2) relevant for midlatitude subseasonal predictability. Using a perfect model framework, we find transfer learning may require substantially more data than provided by present-day reanalysis datasets to update neural network weights, imparting a cautionary tale for future transfer learning approaches focused on subseasonal modes of variability.
