Recent efforts have leveraged deep neural networks from computer vision to enhance the spatial resolution of meteorological data, showing promise for statistical downscaling. However, methodological diversity and insufficient comparisons with traditional downscaling techniques challenge these advancements. Our study introduces a benchmark dataset for statistical downscaling, utilizing ERA5 and the finer-resolution COSMO-REA6, to facilitate direct comparisons of downscaling methods for 2m temperature, global (solar) irradiance and 100m wind fields. Accompanying U-Net, GAN, and transformer models with a suite of evaluation metrics aim to standardize assessments and promote transparency and confidence in applying deep learning to meteorological downscaling.}, month = {May}, date = {2024-05-07}, organization = {International Conference on Learning Representations, Vienna (Austria), 7 May 2024 - 11 May 2024}, cin = {JSC}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406}, pnm = {5111 - Domain-Specific Simulation $\&$ Data Life Cycle Labs (SDLs) and Research Groups (POF4-511) / MAELSTROM - MAchinE Learning for Scalable meTeoROlogy and cliMate (955513) / Verbundprojekt: MAELSTROM - Skalierbarkeit von Anwendungen des Maschinellen Lernens in den Bereichen Wetter und Klimawissenschaften für das zukünftige Supercomputing (16HPC029) / Earth System Data Exploration (ESDE)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5111 / G:(EU-Grant)955513 / G:(BMBF)16HPC029 / G:(DE-Juel-1)ESDE}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)8}, doi = {10.34734/FZJ-2024-07378}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1034617}, }
