TL;DR

Generative REconstruction (GRE) is introduced, a 5 sequential assimilation framework that replaces prescribed covariances with a generative prior learned from satellite-era grid-ded fields that encodes multivariate spatial structure including heavy-tailed extremes.

DIRECT 1.0: a diffusion-based generative model for dense sea surface temperature reconstructions from sparse satellite observations

Satellite sea surface temperature (SST) observations are frequently obscured by cloud cover, creating large gaps that must be reconstructed for many oceanographic and climate applications. Because multiple high-resolution SST fields may be consistent with the same sparse observations, this reconstruction problem is inh...

Steering Diffusion Priors with Sparse Observations for High-Resolution Temperature Downscaling

Local heatwave hazard depends on fine-scale air temperature, but ground stations are sparse and reanalysis products such as ERA5 cannot resolve the terrain and land-surface contrasts that shape real heat exposure. We present a conditional diffusion emulator for high-resolution 2-m temperature downscaling, conditioned o...

Generative Atmospheric Super-Resolution from Heterogeneous In Situ Observations through Composable Interfaces

This work forms this reconstruction problem as generative atmospheric super-resolution and introduces composable observation interfaces for conditioning a single pretrained 13-variable atmospheric diffusion model without retraining the underlying model.

Precipitation Downscaling Using Foundation Model-Conditioned Diffusion

Results indicate that cross-attention conditioning offers advantages over simple concatenation for probabilistic precipitation downscaling, and that pre-trained foundation model representations may offer benefits in data-limited settings.

Diffusion-Based Refinement for Kilometer-Scale Probabilistic Precipitation Nowcasting

Localized extreme precipitation is a major trigger of urban flash floods and landslides, yet producing nowcasts that combine fine spatial detail with probabilistic uncertainty remains challenging. Here we introduce exPreCast-ENS, a conditional residual diffusion framework that transforms the deterministic 4 km radar no...

Tropical Cyclone Forecasting via Latent Rectified Flow using Satellite Imagery and Atmospheric Fields

This work presents a single-pass model that jointly forecasts GRIDSAT-B1 infrared imagery and four ERA5 atmospheric fields out to nine hours and reward-fine-tuned against a differentiable track error derived from the predicted winds through a steering-flow calculation.
