• Abstract: Atmospheric correction is a critical preprocessing step in optical remote sensing, but repeated high-fidelity radiative transfer simulations remain computationally expensive for dense look-up-table generation, sensitivity analysis, retrieval support, and operational preprocessing. This study presents a physics-aware multi-fidelity surrogate framework for emulating atmospheric correction coefficients using paired 6S and libRadtran simulations. Atmospheric and geometric states are sampled using Latin Hypercube Sampling, and both radiative transfer models are evaluated under matched conditions for Sentinel-2 bands using spectral-response-function-aware coefficient generation. The high-fidelity targets are path reflectance, total transmittance, and spherical albedo. A physics-guided Kolmogorov-Arnold Network, termed pKANrtm, receives the atmospheric state and low-fidelity 6S coefficients, predicts the residual relative to libRadtran, and reconstructs the high-fidelity coefficients. The pKANrtm model uses an Efficient-KAN architecture and is trained with a physics-consistency penalty applied in the original coefficient space. The proposed model is evaluated against state-of-the-art regression-based RTM surrogates. Across both standard and out-of-distribution evaluation settings, pKANrtm achieves the strongest overall predictive performance among the compared models. Runtime benchmarking demonstrates substantial acceleration relative to libRadtran, with GPU inference providing approximately four orders of magnitude single-sample speedup and batched inference reaching tens of thousands of samples per second. These results indicate that physics-aware multi-fidelity pKANrtm emulation provides an accurate, physically structured, and computationally efficient strategy for atmospheric correction coefficient generation.
