arXiv:2606. 11534v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Urban heat is amplified by impermeable surfaces and heterogeneous built environments, yet street-level variability remains difficult to quantify because multi-sensor observations are rarely available in consistent, analysis-ready form at the necessary spatiotemporal scales.

arXiv:2509. 04991v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Land surface temperature (LST) is a fundamental physical variable in land-atmosphere interactions, surface energy budgets, and climate processes.
Fast Localized Urban Microclimate Emulator (FLUME) is a rapid, data‑efficient framework that predicts three‑dimensional wind and temperature fields in urban environments using a Fourier neural operator. It incorporates a Multi‑Directional Distance Feature (MDDF) to capture building geometry effects and is trained on CFD simulations of only 23 urban blocks, achieving mean absolute errors of 0.2 m/s for velocity and 0.19 °C for temperature on unseen configurations. An ensemble approach provides epistemic uncertainty estimates, with higher uncertainty in roof‑level shear layers, building wakes, and near‑ground vertical velocity.

The paper introduces an explainable contrastive learning model that maps five monthly cloud and radiation fields into a shared representation space to analyze perturbed parameter ensembles (PPEs) in climate simulations. Trained on two 100-member Community Atmosphere Model version 6 PPEs differing only in the warm rain microphysics scheme (KK2000 vs. TAU-ML), the model achieves over 94% linear classification accuracy while preserving seasonal variability and ensemble spread. The learned representations place satellite observations on the same low‑dimensional manifold as the PPEs, with TAU-ML PPE closer to observations, and Integrated Gradients attribution identifies key regional contributions linked to cloud microphysics, boundary layer turbulence, and deep convection.
