- Authors: Anamitra Saha, Sai Ravela
- Abstract summary: We develop a data-driven downscaling (super-resolution) method that incorporates physics and statistics in a generative framework to learn the fine-scale spatial details of rainfall.
Our method transforms coarse-resolution ($0.25circ times 0.25circ$) climate model outputs into high-resolution ($0.01circ times 0.01circ$) rainfall fields while efficaciously quantifying uncertainty.

- Abstract: Modeling the risk of extreme weather events in a changing climate is
essential for developing effective adaptation and mitigation strategies.
Although the available low-resolution climate models capture different
scenarios, accurate risk assessment for mitigation and adaption often demands
detail that they typically cannot resolve. Here, we develop a dynamic
data-driven downscaling (super-resolution) method that incorporates physics and
statistics in a generative framework to learn the fine-scale spatial details of
rainfall. Our method transforms coarse-resolution ($0.25^{\circ} \times
0.25^{\circ}$) climate model outputs into high-resolution ($0.01^{\circ} \times
0.01^{\circ}$) rainfall fields while efficaciously quantifying uncertainty.
Results indicate that the downscaled rainfall fields closely match observed
spatial fields and their risk distributions.
