Short summary
Estimating small probabilities of high-impact extreme weather events is a persistent computational challenge, motivating techniques such as rare event sampling and ensemble boosting: lightly perturbing simulated moderate events into more extreme ones. We formulate a new, flexible sampling strategy and characterizes a critical parameter – the advance split time, dictating when to perturb – in a simple atmospheric turbulence model, with generalizable entropy-based criteria.
