AI-Based Spatial Downscaling of Surface Wind Fields over the Barents and Kara Seas
摘要
This study explores the application of the AI-based approach for spatial downscaling of surface wind fields over the Barents and Kara Seas using deep artificial neural networks with skip connections. This method aims to improve spatial resolution while significantly reducing computational costs compared to nonhydrostatic modeling. Low-resolution input data are derived from the ERA5 global reanalysis, while high-resolution reference data are provided by Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) modeling. The results of AI-based downscaling are compared with the baseline bilinear interpolation. The proposed model enhances the mesoscale atmospheric structure compared to ERA5. It also achieves a 50x increase in computational efficiency compared to WRF modeling.
