Earth observation embeddings enhance weather downscaling accuracy

Researchers have demonstrated that Earth observation embeddings can serve as effective descriptors for probabilistic weather downscaling. By integrating these embeddings, derived from TESSERA data at 10m resolution, into a convolutional conditional neural process, they improved the accuracy of predicting 2m temperature and 10m wind speed. This method showed a 11.5% improvement in CRPS skill for temperature and 6.2% for wind speed across diverse climatic regions, even when using different input data like the Aurora AI forecasting model.
