A new arXiv paper explores the effectiveness of various statistical and machine learning methods for interpolating weather forecast data at unobserved locations. The study, which focused on 2-m temperature and 10-m wind speed forecasts from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in Germany, compared traditional statistical approaches with advanced techniques like distributional regression networks, transformers, and graph neural networks. While post-processing generally improved forecast accuracy, no single method consistently outperformed others across all scenarios, though a proposed altitude-aware linear pool showed a slight improvement for temperature at unobserved sites.
